All i have to say is... DO NOT USE Drop Zone CAMBER KITS..they usually sell them on ebay or someplace else. :evil:

The reason why i am posting this is becuase recently i installed this camber kit in my '88 crx si. With addition to installing that... I installed tockico shocks, nuespeed race springs, outer tie rods and lower ball joints. The camber forces ur Upper control arm to move foward..cuasing it to bang and litteraly crush the place where ur wheel well and fender meet :!:

I dont know what else to get as of this point but im hearing from Aerospeed that they have good camber kits.... but when i saw them ...they look just like the ones that DropZone makes. Please... does anyone have any suggestions that doesnt force the UCA's to move forward... but maybe the lower ball joints... or something... i have my crx dropped like 2.5 inches... or something like that.

alright thanks...

ive been looking around on Nopi.com and SPCperformance.com and they only have the -1.5 to 1.5 degree adjustable upper ball joint... i know im going to need alittle more than that.. like a 2.0 degree or more...i ll see what happens when i take it to my mechanic to remove these P.O.S. camber kit... and take it to the aligment shop... on monday. :?

but yea... SPC does like a winner.... it keeps the control arm in its place... with out moving it out.

Thanks

ehhh... oh boy...I duno if I like the sounds of this. As I mentioned before the dropzone kit could very well deform the UCA. I can't see how cutting out a piece of the UCA; consequently weakening it, can be a good solution.

Yep... Whatever products that DropZone makes is crappy. My friend and I had DropZone coilovers. Oh man.. I tell ya the worse coilovers we've ever ridden on. Went through 2-3 sets of performance shocks. Until we had enough and went back to regular springs.
