    Speaking of lower arms has anyone thought of making tubular ones.

    toe is different than camber, your LCA will never be adjustable. your rear UCA can be adjustable, that would only adjust for camber. your toe compensator arms are to adjust for toe. SPC and a few other companies make these parts for civics. hardly anyone makes them for a 3g.

    your skin color has nothing to do with how you speak, now if you want to use it as a crutch instead of admitting you're just ignorant than that's fine. but i know plenty of "brotha's" who can speak properly and type that way as well.

    my vote is still ban.

    Re: Red polished rear lower control arms

    Everybody does realize that our cars have 2 lower control arms per side in the rear. Thats how the tow is adjusted, one arm to lock the wheel at a center point, and the other to adjust it in and out. Thats what I was getting at with his post in the "H22" thread. You can't get the lower control arm from just any Honda, it would have to have the quad arm style like ours. I'm not sure if the CB7 have that style, but I'm positive the Integra doesn't. I just dont think they make the MAAddZZZ tYYYTTTE RRRReeeeDDd LCA's you are looking for.

    Re: Red polished rear lower control arms

    if you want polished looking rear arms, you'll have to sandblast a pair after removing the bushings, then tape off the bushing areas with high heat tape, and have then powder coated. then put in new bushings. they would look nice, but would take some work, I may just do that, i was going to rebuild a pair of rear arms anyway, it would keep people guessing about who made them. most high performance arms have the red powder coating.

    ah yeah that's what i meant. i just assumed he wanted the toe adjusted, as that's all most people adjust when doing wheel alignments. well that's what it's like around here anyway

    Re: Red polished rear lower control arms

    i don't like a bunch of negative camber, but i'm not slammed and i'm not trying to tuck any wheels, i only rock 14"s...

    It does look to be a similar set-up, but for that to have adjustable camber both arms would have to adjust. I can only imagine the alignment nightmare that would cause. You could just buy adjustable upper control arms, and be done with it. Or the washer trick for under $50.00 is a viable alternative.

    Re: Red polished rear lower control arms

    neg camber FTW. If I was going to put more $$ into my 3G I'd get adjustables and run -2.0 or -2.5 in the front and -1.5 to -2.0 in the rear.... but oh well. I'm happy with -1.8 front, and -1.1 rear
    I can't read the signature rules so MrBen deleted my signature.
