I have an 86 accord lxi, and I was wondering what all I would need to put prelude control Arms. I heard this conversion gives you more adjustability on camber, which I need for the stance I'm looking for, or can someone link a thread please.

I used arms from what I believe was an 85 prelude, basically the joint bolts to the arm and has some adjustment. I was able to drop 2 inches and maintain camber in spec but that was maxed out.
The bolts that go through the chassis are slightly closer together so you need to add a few washers or bushings in the assembly

Curious where we can get these arms? Quick look and I found nothing.

not really an item you are going to find from the parts store being they are "rebuild-able" compared to the stock accord arms. Best places are on ebay and the facebook groups or actually going junkyarding. I do recall that there is mention of the 2nd and 3rd generation prelude arms will work but the 2nd gen is the one to get. The space that needs to be taken up being the prelude arms are narrower is roughly 0.350" to 0.360" that is in my hatch build thread that is not included in the how-to.

Can someone possibly update the how to guide for prelude arm assembly photos?
