Ball joint camber kits

[Importkitz]

Are there any problems with the ball joint camber kits?

I used to have the camber kits where they connect to the control arm but the control arm would hit the top of the inner fender and made my ride a little more rough.

i know our ball joints dont come out because i have tried before. you have to get the 94 to 97 upper arm for it to work i pretty sure.

Thanks. Im just gonna stick to the control arm anchors. I still have them from my old accord.

then what about the specific set on chassistech.com?

balljoint ones work fine for me, had to have my upper fender pounded up to clear the control arm. Only problem is cant adjust it far enough positive to get equal camber for how low my car is now.

why would you try to take them out anyways? (ball joints)

[92accordDx]

becuase there are camber kits that work by taking out the ball joints and it slides the arm out that is conected to the ball joint. this i another camber kit that they have out on the market for 94-97 accord. but our ball joints dont come out like the new accords so we cant use them we have to use the ancor bolt camber kits

I just neatly ground away the extra beef on my upper control arms so that they would clear the chassis at the very top where it would normally rub because of the camber correction. Then I just painted them flat black so they wouldn't rust.

I didn't get to crazy and put the car to within spec 0.0- -1.00 degree because I didn't wana push my luck.

My car is -1.30 all around. I might make the back -.75 so I can get more life out of rotating my tires but either way I shouldn't kill them to badly.

Quite a bit but not as much as you'd think. You take more off the sides then you do to the actuall edge where the joint is. It's the way the frame is shaped I guess.

But since I'm so anal I made it all look nice and even, filed the edges so there's no ruf spots and then painted it.

you wouldn't actually have some pictures of this would you?

[BustedLX]

No but I could take some next time I have the wheels off, which shouldn't be to far off in the future.

hell yeah that'll work.....weren't you going to sell your cb7?
