Default RHINO??? adj. upper control arms 88-91 civics

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...QrdZ1


anyone used these?? cheap as hell. tha design looks same as the REVO arms.
wonder if the balljoints are complete crap and that is why they are so cheap?

only other company i've seen with fitment for the 88-91 civic arms is Revo Technica at $100 more

The design does look almost the same as the Revo arms...only they are WAY cheaper. I don't know what's up with that.

maybe they are made out of Gummi Bears? might be worth it to try a set. can always weld in some dimpled sheet to the bottom of the arm if they are weak.
says 1 year warranty on there? but that doesn't exactly mean you can get ahold of the company to replace them .

The balljoints may also be complete ****. I don't know. Give em a try and post up results. I think I was one of the first people on here to get those Revo arms on a car and post up about it, and they are working fine so far.

...although I can't help but be sketched out by how cheap they are.

For $70 shipped I'll be the guinea pig just bought them for my h22 crx I will post results, yes they do look like revo's design... need to bring back my camber to -.25 on each side...UCA is more of a follower...strength of it should be fine...

From reading the feedback looks good...using words like skunk2 comparable...

Peewee: with them adjusted fully outward does the balljoint or UCA hit the pinch weld inside the wheel well? That is the problem I always ran into with the "adjustable inner joint" type front camber kits; you had to grind off a bit of the end of the UCA and beat the pinch weld up and out in the wheel well or you'd end up riding on your UCA instead of your coilovers! Let us know what kind of clearance you have up there when slammed!

I just got a set as well I couldn't resist the price. They look just like the revo ones everything looks good on them, only thing im going to change is the allen bolts that came with them, they came with grade 8.8 bolts( equal to grade 5 in us) so i'm going to swap them for some grade 10.9 regular head bolts

I took a glance at it tonight and the ball joint doesn't look to be replaceable looks to be a 1 piece unit with the block...

For the Honda's I have owned I have never had to replace a UCA ball joint...so I think it will last me a while....

I might go ahead and buy a set.

The outside of my tires are wearing FAST which means too much positive camber right? I hope not since these only allow you to do 0 + 3 I'm going to get an alignment and hope that its just my toe making the tires wear down fast.
