Drop the car and   camber goes negative until you're shredding the inside edges of your tires. Meanwhile the steering feels   vague on center and the car wanders a little at speed, because nobody's ever been able to touch the caster.   These PCI front upper camber and caster arms fix both at once. They give you real camber adjustment   \u003cem\u003eand\u003c\/em\u003e the ability to add caster, which is the part most camber arms and camber kits can't do at all. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eThe Caster Part Is What Makes These Different\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e   Most adjustable arms out there only handle camber. These do both, and the caster adjustment is worth   understanding because it changes how the car feels in a way people don't expect. Adding caster (this gives   you a dual-caster option of \u003cstrong\u003e+2 degrees over OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e) does three things you'll notice   immediately. The steering self-centers better, so the car tracks straight and quits wandering. Turn-in gets   crisper and more confident. And you gain camber as you turn the wheel, meaning the outside tire tips into the   corner right when it needs the grip, without you having to run a bunch of static negative camber that eats   tires in a straight line. It's how you get cornering grip and reasonable tire wear at the same time. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eAnd Camber You Can Actually Adjust\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e   Now the camber side. Your stock upper arms are a fixed length, so when you lower an EK, camber goes negative   and there's nothing your alignment shop can do about it. They set your toe, hand you a printout showing   camber way out of spec, and shrug. These arms turn camber into something you control, with up to   \u003cstrong\u003e1.5 degrees positive and 2.5 degrees negative\u003c\/strong\u003e over the factory arms. That's enough range to   pull a slammed street EK back to sane numbers and save your tires, or to deliberately dial in aggressive   camber for a track car. Either way it's finally your decision. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eCompact, So You Keep Your Suspension Travel\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e   This matters more than the spec sheet makes it sound. Plenty of camber kits are bulky enough that something   contacts at full compression, and suddenly you've traded suspension travel for adjustment. That's backwards,   especially on a car that's already lowered and working with less travel than it started with. PCI built these   compact on purpose, so you retain factory suspension travel and give up nothing to get the adjustment. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eStiff Arms Hold The Alignment You Set\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e   Adjustment only counts if the numbers stay put. These use very stiff 3\/16\" steel arms, because a flexy arm   deflects under load and your carefully set geometry moves around every time you turn in hard, brake, or put   power down. These don't budge, so you get sharper cornering, more consistent braking, and better throttle   response. Not because they make power, but because your suspension is doing exactly what you told it to. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eThe Hardware Behind It\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e   PCI didn't cheap out anywhere. The caster adjustment runs on high-load 863 bronze bearings with stainless   steel offset pins, which is a proper setup for something taking real load and needing to stay precise. On top   of that you've got a CNC machined 2024 aluminum adjustable spherical bearing block, CNC machined and heat   treated stainless steel high-misalignment 45 degree spacers, powder coated 3\/16\" steel arms, and fine thread   M10 grade 10.9 hardware. They're long lasting, low maintenance, and fully rebuildable, so years down the road   you refresh them instead of replacing them. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eOne Honest Note\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003e   Two things worth saying straight. First, these arms run spherical bearings instead of rubber bushings, so   they'll pass along more road noise and small vibrations than stock. On a lowered street car or track build   that's a fair trade and you'll stop noticing it. Second, these fix camber and caster, they don't fix worn   ball joints, tired bushings, or a bent anything else. Get the rest of your front end squared away first and   these will do their job right. \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003ePCI front upper camber and caster arms (adjustable upper control arms) for the 96-00 Civic\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eAdjustable camber up to 1.5 degrees positive and 2.5 degrees negative over stock\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eDual-caster option of +2 degrees over OEM for better stability and steering response\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eHigh-load 863 bronze bearings with stainless steel offset pins for caster adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eCNC machined 2024 aluminum adjustable spherical bearing block\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eCNC machined, heat treated stainless steel high-misalignment 45 degree spacers\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003ePowder coated, very stiff 3\/16\" steel arms that eliminate arm flex\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eFine thread M10 grade 10.9 hardware\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eCompact design that retains factory suspension travel\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eLong lasting, low maintenance, and fully rebuildable\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eFits These Cars\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e1996-2000 Honda Civic (EK)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e   Note: Pro Car Innovations (PCI) front upper camber and caster arms, part number CA-EK-FU, for the 1996-2000   Honda Civic (EK). These adjustable front upper control arms replace the fixed factory arms and provide camber   adjustment of up to 1.5 degrees positive and 2.5 degrees negative over stock, along with a dual-caster option   of +2 degrees over OEM for added stability and improved steering response. Caster adjustment uses high-load   863 bronze bearings with stainless steel offset pins. Additional construction includes a CNC machined 2024   aluminum adjustable spherical bearing block, CNC machined and heat treated stainless steel high-misalignment   45 degree spacers, powder coated 3\/16\" steel arms, and fine thread M10 grade 10.9 hardware. The compact   design retains factory suspension travel, and the stiff arms reduce flex for improved cornering, braking, and   throttle response, with improved tire wear when properly adjusted for the application. Spherical bearings   transmit more road noise and vibration than factory rubber bushings. Long lasting, low maintenance, and fully   rebuildable. One set per order. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e    \u003cli id=\"VehicleFitment\"\u003e  1996-2000 Honda Civic  \u003c\/li\u003e     \u003cli id=\"TechnicalData\"\u003e Adjustable camber up to 1.5 degrees positive and 2.5 negative over stock OEM arms\u003cdiv\u003eDual-caster option of +2 degrees over OEM\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eHigh load 863 bronze bearings with stainless steel offset pins for caster adjustment\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eCompact design allows factory suspension travel to be retained\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eImproved tire wear when properly adjusted for application\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eImproved cornering, braking and throttle response due to increased stiffness\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eVery stiff 3\/16″ steel arms eliminate unwanted arm flex\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eLong lasting, maintenance free and fully rebuild-able\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e           \u003cli id=\"Brand\"\u003e Pro Car Innovations is an industry leader in racing products such as suspension parts, aerodynamic components, and seat mounts.
