Ha, those are the ones we bought for my buddies car, We did get rapped on Shipping, it was like 100 dollars for the front only. I paided 95 for a complete front and rear kit, FULLY adjustable about 6 months back.

Yes your way is cheaper, but that is something I would even want to ---- with. I installed my rear no problem, but with the front, with having two a-arm mounting point, ALOT of suspension geometry can change, and by using your method there is no turning back!!! BETTER GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME!!!!!!

hahaha, nukka what.

I have spent a couple hours trying to figure out a way to make either a adjustable upper balljoint, or a ball joint that is simply farther out. now, the problem with using a stock balljoint A arm, is that the ball joint is not at the farthers edge of the arm, so if you move it out more, the a arm will bottom out on the inner fender. There simply is not enough clearence.

For example, stock 92-95 civic a arms will bolt up to 4th gen civics with some part swapping, they move the upper balljoint out half an inch or so, and move it back another half inch or so(so it changes the caster aswell sorta), the problem is, it bottoms out on the inner fender well and is completely useless.

Now this only applies to extensively lowered cars like mine, you don't have to move the ball joint out that far to get a less drastic camber angle

Unless of course you cut out the inner fender well. () but then you are getting into full blown modifications and you might aswell go the full meal deal customizing everything.

I'll go with the ebay method if I get them cheap enough.
