I took a look at the a-arms. There is no way I could have put the left side on the right side because the tie rods would have nothing to connect to and the brake lines would be reversed. It is possible that the upper a-arms are on the wrong sides from when the owner before me installed them. It does not look like there can be any more length out of those a-arms even if I did switch them.
stand this bike on it's assend and get us pics
it is also possible these are not + anything forward, in that case they should be able to go on either side
so i guess this poll is stayng at 20-11. i will give u guys up till friday to change urr vote. i mean like common, we all know who is gonna win here! Those of u who dident change ur vote, expect to see ur blastys in my garage!!!!!! loli will be parting them out to the ppl who voted!! ahaha
those a arms look fine to me..... i was just looking at mine, and the more "stright side" i guess u can call it is towars the front like his are.
the top arms ball joint does look to be back further than the bottom one, at that angle of the pic, they look like they should be more purpendicular with the bottom ball joint ??
but the bottoms appear to have no forward angle at all ???
so if they are +2/3, thats all they are,
not +1 forward
just my opinion from what i see in the pics
hit the chatroom and get the a-arm guru civic to have a look ??

The bottom lookalike it has some +1 action in there look at the angle but the tops are still switched the left godson the right and the right goes on the left
If you switched the upper a-arms, not only would you not gain any more travel but you would have a dangerous amount of negative caster (to my simple eyes).
If the upper ball joint pivot is in front of the lower ball joint pivot, the steering will have negative caster and "wander" dangerously

Very good point, I had no idea about any of that. I am glad you brought that up. So I will do a double look over tomorrow and see if I can confirm that swapping the uppers would cause that negative camber....I am guessing you are right civic. Thanks for popping in and giving your $.02!
Looks like it to me.
If they were "flipped around" it looks like the upper ball joint would in fact be in front of the lower ball joint and the front suspension would be VERY unstable.
