Default 5th Gen: Camber Adjustable Upper Control Arms

Based on the Skunk2 design for Civics and Integras I finally had a set of UCA's made with camber adjustability for my 5th gen. I also picked up a pair of spherical radius rod bushings.

Custom Camber Adjustable Arms & a pair of OPM Motorsports Radius Rod Bearings

$110/per side for the work. That's not too bad for a totally custom part.

VERY nice!

I wish somebody would market stuff like that for the Prelude . . . .

Is the entire arm custom, or is it a modified stock one? Any reason you didn't just go with some SPC ball-joint kits?

I know -- I wish someone would mass produce this stuff instead of getting custom parts all the time. It costs way too much to own and work on a Prelude!

The arm is stock, just the ball joint end was cut off and a new sliding plate design was welded back on.

I got this made so I could get more negative camber for better handling. I have a set of never installed Progress ball joints but they (are up for sale now) only allow for correction of camber back to stock specs when the car is lowered.

SPC Anchor bolts kits can be flipped aroud backwards to gain negative camber, but you do have to do some grinding.. Anyways, great job man!

Oh, one more thing.. It looks like your slider might make contact w/ the fender well... I think you might be in for a headache, maybe..
