Hello,

Question regarding fixing camber (looking for one that'll fit a 99 DC4 Integra).

What is the difference between these two, is one better buy than the other?

Adjustable Upper Control Arm Mounts - Rubber Bushings
Adjustable Upper Control Arm Ball Joint

If someone can provide a simple explanation, that'd be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I have these : Adjustable Upper Control Arm Mounts - Rubber Bushings - they go into your upper control arm bolt holes to attach it to the body of your car, they adjust by pushing the upper control arms position outward (pushing it horizontally farther away from the engine than what the shock tower was designed around, clearance issue for me because of the 1.8" lowering).

They bang into my shock towers if I go over a large dip in the road too quickly, I'm lowered about 1.8" in a 95 Integra. On the upside, no sliding parts (probably harder to come loose if you hit a pothole). I'm thinking of switching these since I've seen sites recommending these for cars lowered 1"- 1.5".

Adjustable Upper Control Arm Ball Joint is a balljoint that goes into your upper control arm, the balljoint replaces the oem one, and adjusts by moving outward, however if you notice, it is larger in height than the oem one (in theory this might actually push your upper control arm closer vertically to the top of your shock tower, possible clearance issue).

In my opinion for Integras, the Skunk2 Pro Series Plus might be better because it looks as if it was designed to be very close to the oem upper control arm size and might be better for clearance (no banging the shock towers!). However, because of the sliding balljoint design, you will need treadlock, and of course to torque it to the specified amount so it stays in place. I might try this set-up.

Just my 2¢.
