Ken, there is one other design that I have seen that you remove the factory upper "A" arm to replace it with one that adjusts the location of the upper ball joint: moving the upper ball joint in/out is what adjusts the camber, the only problem I had besides from the kit allowing the camber to get "bumped" out of place is that taking out the negative camber involves essentially elongating the upper control arm which 1) changes the suspension geometry more than you would imagine, and 2)once the arm is pushed out it can, and will hit the shock towers. there are "fingernail" shaped dents in the shock towers on my GSR where just that has happened. Also, I have heard some stories of enthusiasts having the upper A arm get stuck in the shock tower if they hit either a big dip, or bump. IMOP, the ideal kit would actually shorten the lower control arm, to bring the tire more "under" the car, to reduce fender rubbing, the A arm hitting the shock tower, and it will allow for slightly more positive offset wheels, and tires..Either that, or a steering knuckle that has a longer (I don't know what the "vertical bar is called that meets the upper A arm is called??) that would push out the top of the tire, and reduce negative camber, but at the cost of possibly affecting the castor (if it's weak), and moving the upper A arm back higher.
As you can see, I have put a lot of thought into the matter, and when I do upgrade to stiffer springs, and shocks in my CRX, I will be very meticulous in selecting the ride height, to try and avoid the possible problems that I had mentioned above. I believe that a 1.25-1.5" drop would be more than suffeciant for the look, and I intend on selecting my spring rates for autocross, and road course usage (primarily autocross, where one wants ample suspension travel) I intend on using sway bars to give my CRX the handling tendencies that suit my driving style the best, along with some high quality adjustable shocks, and urethane bushings. I hope this has been educational, and if anyone has any disagreements, let's discuss this very critical issue. -M _________________________________________________________________ Join the world�s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
