Default which would you guys recomend

so i need a front camber correction kit, but i'm wondering which would be better...cuz from my understanding, they do the same thing...i'm wondering should i get adjustable ball joints or the other camber correction kit for my accord? from what i've heard i'm leaning more towards the adjustable ball joint

Spherical bearings (ball joints) are loud and obnoxious. Go for the rubber mounts. You don't need hardcore accuracy for a street car that never sees the track.

Probably forgot to lube them first. Spherical bearings will always be noisy.

Yeah. A little grease will help them out. Also the rubber mounts will be a bit mroe comfortable (the spherical bearings don't absorb any of the suspension impact. They just send everything right into teh chassis and your butt. The rubber will help cushion that a bit. Since you've got a bit of a show car, you'll probably be a lot happier with the standard mounts).
