I was puzzled by this and still unsure can someone please tell me ? My mechanic told me that i need new control arms and i want to drop my car so i figured thats when i ll get my suspension tweaked , now i m stuck control arms and camber kit look exactly the same i know camber kit is adjustable but is it the same thing or not ?

camber kit is a kit that allows you t oadjust camber. a control arm can be part of this kit. depends on what kit and for what car.

There are different styles of camber kits available on the market for Integras.

Ingalls makes 2 different styles, 1 kind replaces the 2 pivot points on each UCA that bolt into the chassis. The 2nd type replaces just the upper ball joint on your UCA.

Skunk2, SPC, Omni Power, and a whole bunch of other companies offer you full UCA replacements which are adjustables at the ball joint.

The only time you REALLY need new control arms is when they're bent from an accident or something. Most of the time, you just need a new ball joint, but it's just easier and quicker for a mechanic to replace a full upper arm replacement.

******** so they were trying to rip me off , so i can get the skunk2 camber kit and that will fix my problem right? because i m gonna lower my car so whats the point of replacing the stock for stock

BTW which one is better OMNI or SKUNK and what would be the avg cost i should look at ? Thanks

Nah, the price in labour to do a ball joint only would probably bring it to the price of a whole new arm and labour... maybe more.

As for quality, Skunk2, Ingalls, or SPC all the way... I've heard some bad reviews on the Omni ball joint.
