does anyone make and adjustable tubed upper control arm? i washered the camber out as far as i felt save and couldnt get it far enough. debating buying a kit but most and just washers anyway. the car rode smooth just got tired of replacing tires. also just switched from stock cut springs after 6yrs to stock gst springs. the gst spring are stronger and thicker. before buying them i searched and everyone said they were the same. not true 97rs to 97 gst. there is a difference and its visiable. the car sits higher then stock the camber is now caster the otherway.

You don't exactly have your terminology right. Camber and caster are two completely seperate entities. That's like saying "My left is now down the other way." Are you looking for a front or rear? I know someone has just started making a tubular front UCA, there is a thread a few lines down about it.
Lets just say this... I'm over 100whp and soon to cross 200whp. Thanx 2GNT! Now if I could only learn to prove it.

no im looking for one for the rear. ill probably get a kit but most washer then have an adjustable bracket. i live in the mountains and drive it hard and dont want some halfa$$ washer long bolt to break. there was a post in '03 where some one found and alternative or at least a company to look into. ill look up caster to see what it means.

Caster is if you view it from the side, and the center of the wheel is in front of(pos), or behind(neg) the centerline of the suspension. Toe is if you view it from above, and the front is pointed in(toe in) or out(toe out).

and you take it to shwabbs and have them mount those laser box's on the tires, and you have to turn your wheels 15* each direction and it does a bunch of math and can figure out how off ur wheels are. then, with some vehicles, you just go in there and turn some bolts on a few bushings till its in spec.
