Ouch, I went with camber adjustable arms, like:

However, I expect them to die more often. So only use these if you need to adjust the front camber. @ ~$55


Ive had these my coupe for over 2 years now. To get them to fit right I had to use an angle grinder and trim the edges where the ball joint sits. Also Ive had to replace the upper ball joints already one time each. Still not a bad investment for the price.

Bernardi? Got a link?

I usually use majestic.

I bought my axles from Bernardi Acura and they had them for the cheapest. I usually use them or OEMAcuraparts because they both ship fast and will price match.

Yeah, definitely doing OEM Lowers, uppers only seem to sell as a whole control arm though (from majestic), so I haven't decided what I'm doing there yet. I want to do both at the same time, but I have a list of things I am trying to do first as it warms up. Think I might bite the bullet and get something cheaper, like moog this year, and then replace them with oem in a year or 2, once I am done with all the little mods I want to do.

I would ask them why they can't replace just the upper ball joint, or go somwhere else. My local Firestone Autocare has a great mechanic and he was able to replace just the upper ball joint. Regardless make sure you replace the hardware (castle nuts, clip pins, etc).
