Default Camber kit question.

I am going to replace my ball joints and bushings. So I thought maybe it would be easier, and pretty economical, to just go with a camber kit. (To save some headache for UCA's anyways.) However, my question is, does anyone know if any of the kits come with bushings pre-installed, or will they be seperate, requiring the stock housing?

I believe they are already pressed in.

The bushings aren't part of the UCA on the front of a 3rd gen Integra. They're in their own subframe which bolts into the chassis, then the UCA bolts to them.

A camber kit will not save money here. Alignments will be more expensive with the aftermarket part, and if they ever slip you'll be paying for alignments more often too.

I realize that the bushings are in a separate part than the UCA. So I guess that kind of answers my question, I suppose checking with individual manufacturer is best bet to see if the bushings and "subframe" are included...

Do you know of a good UCA replacement option that includes the balljoint, bushings, and subframe? I'm just looking for options, the parts are off the car right now and I have already tackled the LCA's. However, the method I'm using to remove the bushings will not work for the uppers...I thought of this because for the money I thought it wasn't much more than a good set of balljoints alone, and if it's all ready to install as one unit, why not? Thanks
