Front Upper Control Arms+Rear Camber Adjustable Kit For 96-00 Honda Civic EK Red 🏁 Adjustable Front & Rear Camber Control Arm Kit – For Honda Civic EK (1996–2000) 🏁 【CNC-Steel Front Arms + Alloy Steel Rear Arms】±3° Front / -2° to +3° Rear Adjustment – Fixes Camber, Boosts Handling (w/ Poly Bushings & Ball Joints) 1. Core Features 🔹 Exact Fit for 1996–2000 Honda Civic EK Engineered exclusively for the 1996–2000 Honda Civic EK chassis (all EK variants, including DX, LX, EX, Si, and hatchback/sedan/coupe body styles). This is a complete front-and-rear kit – no need to purchase front and rear components separately, making it ideal for full suspension overhauls or lowered EK builds. Critical Compatibility Note : Does not fit other Civic generations (e.g., EG 1992–1995, EM 2001–2005) – the EK chassis has unique suspension mounting points that differ from earlier/later models. 🔹 Front Upper Control Arms: CNC-Steel + Poly Bushings + Ball Joint The front kit replaces worn factory upper control arms with high-performance units designed for precision and durability: CNC-machined steel alloy construction : Thicker and stronger than the thin stamped-steel factory arms – resists bending or warping under hard cornering, potholes, or track use. Meets/exceeds OEM strength requirements. Solid polyurethane bushings : Replaces soft, deteriorating factory rubber bushings. Poly bushings eliminate "bushing flex," delivering quicker steering response, sharper handling, and reduced body roll (critical for spirited driving). Integrated ball joint : Includes a pre-installed, OEM-grade ball joint – saves time (no need to press in a new ball joint separately) and ensures proper fit with the EK’s front knuckle. ±3° camber adjustment : Fine-tune front camber to correct issues from lowering (e.g., negative camber that causes inner tire wear) or optimize for performance (e.g., -1° to -1.5° for track grip). 🔹 Rear Camber Kit: Alloy Steel + -2° to +3° Adjustability The rear kit (2 pieces: left + right) solves common rear suspension problems in lowered EKs: High-quality alloy steel : Outperforms factory rear camber arms, with corrosion-resistant plating to withstand road salt, moisture, and undercar grime – no rust or degradation over time. -2° to +3° adjustability : Wider range than many rear kits, letting you: Fix excessive negative camber (from lowering springs/coilovers) to prevent uneven tire wear. Dial in mild negative camber (-0.5° to -1°) for improved rear grip during cornering (ideal for EK Si or track builds). Direct bolt-on fit : Uses factory mounting hardware and aligns with the EK’s rear knuckle/chassis – no drilling, welding, or custom adapters needed. 🔹 Anti-Vibration Lock Washers & Durability Built to handle daily driving and performance use without loose hardware: Thicker, stronger lock washers : Included with all mounting bolts – prevents bolts from loosening due to engine vibration, road bumps, or hard acceleration. Ensures the arms stay securely mounted long-term. 100% new, unused components : No refurbished parts – every arm, bushing, ball joint, and washer is brand new, guaranteeing reliability out of the box. 2.

Installation Tips Safety Prep : Lift the Civic EK with a jack and secure it on jack stands (never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack). Remove front and rear wheels for access. Front Arm Installation : Disconnect the factory front upper control arm from the chassis and front knuckle (remove ball joint nut, then separate the ball joint from the knuckle using a ball joint separator). Install the new front arm: Attach the chassis end first, then connect the ball joint to the knuckle. Hand-tighten all bolts, then torque to Honda OEM specs (typically 35–45 ft-lbs for chassis bolts, 25–30 ft-lbs for ball joint nut). Rear Arm Installation : Remove the factory rear camber arm by unbolting it from the rear subframe and knuckle. Align the new rear arm with the mounting points, hand-tighten bolts, then torque to specs (30–40 ft-lbs for subframe bolts, 20–25 ft-lbs for knuckle bolts). Alignment Critical : After installation, take the EK to a shop for a 4-wheel alignment – this fine-tunes camber to your desired setting (daily driving: 0° to -0.5°; performance: -1° to -1.5°) and prevents premature tire wear. 5. Important Notes Usage & Maintenance Daily Driving vs. Track : For daily use, set camber to near-factory specs (0° to -0.5°) to maximize tire life. For track days, use -1° to -1.5° (front/rear) for improved grip (note: this may increase inner tire wear slightly). Bushing Break-In : Polyurethane bushings may feel stiff initially – they will break in after 100–200 miles of driving, delivering smoother handling. After-Sales Support If parts don’t fit, bushings are damaged, or hardware is missing: Contact the seller first (before leaving feedback) – all issues are resolved promptly. This kit is designed for the Honda Civic EK only – do not attempt to install on non-EK models, as it will cause suspension misalignment and safety risks. Upgrade your 1996–2000 Honda Civic EK’s suspension with this complete camber kit – fix tire wear, sharpen handling, and unlock your EK’s performance potential! 🏎️
