How do these aluminum ones perform? Are they that much better than stock?

They do weigh a little less, but not much. They look 100% better then stock (which is at least worth a 5 hp gain).
They are a little bit shorter than stock (which means you must have a camber kit). The reason is so that if you are running wider tires, you can keep the car lowered without the tires rubbing the fender.

Get this.
I had stripped the car down to stock. Bought some used stock shocks, switched back to the drums. About 6 hours of work into the car.
The I was finishing up on the last rear drum when the guy said his kid liked the koni's and rear disk. So before I got it aligned I re-installed EVERYTHING back on the car (rear disk, koni's,and camber kit). Another 6 hours of work.
Got it aligned (Honda charged my 140$ because of the excess labor involved with the camber kit)
They take it for a test drive. And then offer me 4500$.
I said 4500$ would be great for a STOCK car. But I have another 1000$ worth of suspension that they asked me to put on there. The dad said to the kid "well thats more than what we talked about"!!
So I got screwed and they didn't even kiss me.
I have another father/son team look at it last night, but I think their going to blow me off too.
So now I probably have to return it back to stock (another 6 hours) to get a broader market of buyers.
So to answer your questions: $hitty.....really $hitty.

I'm not 100% sure off the top of my head.
I would like to say about a 1/2 inch, but again I'm not 100%. Let me find a tape measure and I can measure from them.
I would recommend a camber kit.

Think it would work on my 99 civic ex, with 99 teg rear disc swap?

-PHiZ

Sounds similar to your application. And I'll give you 10 dollars over whatever scrapinSI offers you! heheh j/k

I had a GSR swap on mine and it worked fine.
