i hope these arent for a honda, becuase you cannot adjust camber from the pillow ball mount like nissans and others. tein PB mounts for hondas are just Aluminum pieces(non-adjustable)

no way, really. that sucks so if i had the suspension with upbm's what do i need to get... will those skunk2 things work... and y cant you use the ones on the shock tower?
i talked to some dude at jaydm.com and he said it was an extra 300 to get the adjustable upbm's for the crx, in all corners??

lol..

adjustable pillow ball mounts are for nissans/etc with macphereson struts I believe...hondas recieve the solid pillowballs when u use Tein's..

You can adjust camber by getting a new upper control arm [skunk2,etc..]

the pillowball mounts are supposed to give a stiffer ride/feel. i have the pillowball mounts with my Tein HA's, i like the ride and feel, the only thing that annoys me is sometimes my pillowball mounts will squeek a little. anyone have this problem?

Nissans use struts in the front, which replace the upper control arm, therefore the strut/shock is a determining factor in the suspension geometry. On our double wishbone hondas, the shock has no effect on suspension geometry, other than ride height, which is a given. The new 7th gen civics, ep3's, dc5's use macpherson struts in the front, so they have the option of an adj. upper pillowball mount/ camber plate.

makes sense, thanks... those skunk2 camber things you cant get them for a 91crx but you can for a 92-95 ect but what would i have to do to use them? anybody do that before? thanks is there other kits of good quality that you guys have used that would work on a crx or not?
