    Cool explanation of 84-87 arms

    Hello
    well my alignment is shot so is my front suspension it bounces squeeks you name it so next year I am going to do everything right. Now I was reading on the 84-87 prelude controll arms. Could someone please explain how exactly these arms compared to the accord arms act to controll the negative camber associated with lowering you're car Thanks Paul

    Here is a thread on Prelude Control arms. Click on the link in the first post. That is a how to on them.
    The prelude control arms have a slot in them to bring out the upper ball joint farther. I have a set, cause I dropped my car 2 1/2" in the front. It basically gives you more camber adjustment without buying a camber kit.

    so basically installing these arms following the how to should solve my camber problems in the front I am dropped with eibach sportline springs. Also for the rear alignment basically we have to get a camber kit for the rear??

    It should. On the rear, there is a little washer trick I hear you can do. Put a washer or two between the fender well where the upper control arms bolts on to it. There is a thread on here somewhere about it that shows a pic & where it goes. If you want, there are camber kits for the rear too.
    I did an alighmnent on my car & didn't see enough camber to mess with it, but to each his own.
