I just received my wicked front camber kit in the mail the other day...purchased on a thursday...on my door step the following monday. They seem like decent quality...I can tell you about fitment after saturday probably, if they are still an option for you.

well i had the same problem on my 99 with the toe adjuster......
you realy cannt GET the bolt out of the bushing... BUT what i was able to do is BUST the rubber seperate from the bolt and bushing and with some HARD CRANKING on the bolts it bent the outter metal piece OUT enough where i could get a small cut off wheel into it and then started sectioning pieces of the bushing out until i could get the arm out and then with some vis grips backed the remainder of the bolt out.....

the SIEZED problem is NEVER in the bolt/nut........ its ALWAYS in the bushings metal shaft! just like this picture of my old LCA strut bushing...


thats where the BOLT SEIZES MOST the time on these hondas.. at least from the 2 ive worked on now its been the same! ive tried a air hammer to hammer loose the bolt and bushing after removing the nut off one side but ONLY thing it was going was smashing down the tip of the bolt the hammer was hiting NEVER broke loose.... so i had to cut them off the struts and press in new bushings....

and since its aparently SUCH A COMMON problem....... id rather NEVER have to mess with these dam bushings again... and leave it up to threaded exterior adjustments!
id rather go the cheaper route cause money is always tight... i know i keep changing my mind and thinking over and over...
but i think i will go with the wicked kit complete and hope for the best..... then that will also leave me with enough cash to replace that steering knuckle thats alittle worn....
