    I'm sporting an Ingalls camber kit.
    somewhere around.. $170-200 dollars..

    Im using the SPC PN# 67330 for the fronts, and SPC PN# 67030 on the rears. The fronts correct up to 3 degrees, and the rears correct up to 5 degrees. Now Im in need of toe adjusters to dial in all zero's on my alignment. For that Ill be using Suspension Techniques PN# 57400.

    Stay clear of SPC style kits that replace the anchor bolts. The SPC style ones suck. If your going that style buy the Ingalls kits. I really like the adjustable ball joints a lot better though.

    :( You don't need the Toe Adjuster.It may make it easier,but it's not that hard to do.Never heard a complaint about the toe thing here.
    As far as the rear a few of the wagon members got longer rear bolts off a Accord and used a stack of stainless washers.

    washers in the back is typical for a camber correction

    Both items for 88-91 Civics and 90-93 Integras. They dont need to be wagon specific.

    does anyone have some standard measurements on those washers. this would be a good FYI for anyone else lookin for this
  • SystemSystem
    For the most part Ive always used 1 washer per degree of negative camber. Usually use three washers for a 3" drop. Its by no means scientific, but it generaly gets me in the ballpark as far as alignment goes.

    We can post w/o logging in??? shenrie BTW.......

    yes you can I had to lighten up the restrictions for a bit, to many regestering probs :roll:

    instead of starting a new thread i will revive this one-

    and im not a noob so i went through 3 pages of searching as well as the suspension FAQ and still would like some feedback.

    i have got to get my camber corrected. i have seen the rear camber kit as well as the washer trick so thats no prob. just have to do it.

    but on the fronts....

    i have heard horrible things about the adjustable anchor bolts and am unsure about going to adjustable ball joints as well. it seems the best thing is replacing the a-arm itself. so my question is: what kind of luck have you guys had with the various brands? i found a really good deal on a set of dropzone a-arms with adjustable ball joints but read somewhere that they are bad about clearance issues. i know dizzle loves the revo set but i am just trying to see what my options are......

    Just spoke to Chris from Skunk2 and he said that any suspension components for an 88-91 civic will fit wagovan/civic wagons.

    In case some people haven't seen/heard about the Skunk2 stuff.
    I have their front arms and they amazing. Many other upper arm kits smash into the fender wells because their design isn't compact enough, and upper anchor bolts are virtuallt impossible to adjust once installed (even with the special thin wrench tool) and the bushings aren't that great and can be noisy after only a few years of driving.

    ...and the car sits this low:

    I got mine from www.jhpusa.com and I believe they were like $190.00 shipped. Worth it IMO. I installed them almost a year ago and the tires are still wearing perfectly, even with such a low ride height.

    ^^^This last pic....the strut is not seated all the way in the fork. You could gain a 1/4" of travel if it was seated all the way. Unless Im not seeing something of corse...

    Rear for sure. Front depends on what style you're looking at. If you're looking at the ones that replace the whole arm, then no. The geometry of the upper control arms on the EG/DC/EK is different from the EF/DA. If all you're using is the anchor bolts adjusters for the inside attachment of the UCA, or the replacement balljoints with adjustability, then yes, they will work.

    Also the lower section is turned 180 degrees backwards. The bolt should be inside and the hoop should be in the front.

    But there's no spindle so I'm sure the install isn't done yet.

    got my camber corrected. I am using a set of revo UCAs up front and Mfactory LCAs, Camber and Toe adjusters on the rear. Made a noticable difference in many ways. glad i picked up quality parts....thanks turbo_teg
