Default Camber kit with caster adjustment

I have an almost stock ITR which I don't plan to lower. Therefore I need more Camber but I would also like to have more Caster (dynamic camber).

I have searched for a camber kit that would allow Camber AND Caster adjustment but can't find any, is there such a camber kit avaliable?

The Skunk2 camber kit seems to be the best kit regarding my camber issues but on the pictures the ball joint looks completely centered. This will make less caster than my current left to right upper a-arm swap.

I would like to be able to adjust the camber to at least -2 and caster +5.

All help will be greatly appriciated.

the skunk2 kit ball joint is not centered. its the same as the stock arm, I believe its shifted slightly toward the front of the car. Heres a pic of the 96-00 civic arms, you can see that its not perfectly centered. The 94+ Integra arms are the same way.

You are right, if I look closely the joint is offset. Probably about 1cm just like the stock arms. Thanks for the help! This will atleast not give me less caster than I have now if I go for the Skunk.

But I don't understand why Skunk didn't give the arm a bit more offset (caster) since caster is alot better than static camber.

Isn't there a single solution (bolt-on and not custom made) for more caster on Hondas with a-arms except switching the arms (which i've already done)?
