There isn't an adjustable upper arm available for the 4G civics.

What is possible is to get ball joints that are themselves adjustable. These are tall and cause the upper arm to sit at a more drastic angle. This in it's self isn't bad, but if you lower the car a lot can cause interferance with the inner (upper) fender.

Another solution is to get adjustable mounts where the arm attaches to the body. From what I understand they are difficult to adjust. A friend has them and they tend to come loose and you loose your alignment. This could be an isolated problem!
