Hey Matt, what are these upper control arms that you are talking about? It seems like there are a bunch of different styles of upper control arms out there. Some just replace the upper ball joint with an adjustable one, others replace the whole arm, some are camber only (no caster adjustment) etc. etc...

The other problem is that some of the aftermarket arms are really only designed to REMOVE negative camber on lowered cars, not ADD negative camber to lifted cars Also, it looks like some types would actually reduce bump travel, by having the upper control arm hit the inner fender sooner than stock!


I am looking for some upper control arms for my '96 civic hatch that I rallycross. My 1" lift (over stock) has left me with positive camber. Any reconmmendations?
