I'm researching the possibility of constructing some adjustable upper control arms for civics/integras (possibly more if there is demand for it). I would like to produce something that will not slip like the Skunk2 kit, yet does not cost $450. I was thinking of using threaded ends in place of the Skunk2 system. Replies can be left here or emailed to: jenkinrp@jmu.edu . I hope to have a few sets for prototyping available in a few months.

Thanks in Advance,

RJ
