Upper Arm Hitting
Is there a way for the upper arm in the front to not hit the top of the fender?
I'm talking about where the camber ball joint is installed. The top of the ball joint is hitting the top of the fender.
I already put a much stiffer springs in the front (500lbs) and still occationally it still hits.
The car is not that lowered , not tucking.

Only other alternative is to cut and box the shock tower for more clearance.
My shock towers are dented from UCA contact.
Thankfully, an Integra doesn't need a camber kit unless you want to add even more negative camber than lowering provided for competition purposes.
Pull the camber kit. They're all taller than stock, reducing the clearance between the UCA and shock tower, and causing the contact to happen before the shock has fully compressed.

What is the tolerable range for a negative camber for DD?
If I decide to remove the ball joint type camber kit in the front and just replace it with the regular camber kit. I wonder if it still has the same effect.

The sliding bolt-type camber kit (like Ingall's) with the stock upper arm shouldn't have as much of a problem with hitting the shock tower, but it does push the upper arm out and make it more likely to hit that seam under the fender where the frame rails are welded.
If you ride "not that lowered" then I can tell you for sure that you do NOT need any sort of camber correction, and in fact you're hurting your handling unless you use it to add MORE negative camber. I used to ride on 380 lb/in front springs, at the height in the picture below with 205/45-16 tires, NO camber kit, and my upper arms have never hit the shock towers. I was riding with around -2.8 front camber in this picture, negligible tire wear issues:
