Default Anyone ever try these adjustable balljoints before?

Found these on IAPDirect, anyone ever try these? http://www.iapdirect.com/item.asp?invid=83

I ordered the adjustable anchor bolts but it seems like i'll have to cut out some parts of the inner unibody so my UCA wont hit... I read somewhere that using adjustable ball joints instead will let me adjust camber without having my UCA's hit.

I've heard good things about these as well... I've purchased the ingalls camber kit and people say the SPC ones are easier to adjust & install...

...i'm in the same train as you... damn it ingalls!

btw: i tried fitting the ingalls kit on my 88 crx and the kit is slightly larger than the upper control arm opening... i didn't want to bend anything, so i said screw it.

I've never had any experience with the IAP part, but I bought the ingalls kit for a '91 crx si... the poly bushings are kinda hard to press in, and i did have to grind out the inner fender to get the control arm to clear, but i've had no problems with them other than that. The kit replaces the ball joints that anchor on either side of the strut inside the engine bay.
A good knowledgeable alignment shop won't have any trouble adjusting these, and the place i took mine to actually gave me the option of telling them what i wanted the camber set at, not just at honda spec, i got it at zero to save my tires.
anyway, good luck...
