How were you able to adjust the ball joints? I could not get that thing to move at all. also I have 00' civic SI, and on my year model the 17mm nuts that are inside the fender well holding the upper control arm are welded on. all I had to do was remove the 14mm bolts holding the upper control arm from inside the engine bay. The driver side was a pain though because of the hydraulic clutch resevoir, and the cruise control diafram. Passenger side easiest, just remove tha battery to get access to the bolt and the cold air tubing did not block anything.
