Although now Skunk2 has a revised version of their camber kit which ooks better.
Just out of curiosity, how would you be able to tell the newer version of the Skunk2 camber kit? I'm planning on ordering one soon and would like to know if they're just gonna sell me their old stock, or the newer version.

The newer Skunk2 kit has a metal plate on top where the adjustment bolts are. Mine are just 4 sliding bolts.

I recommend Ingalls or SPC over that REVO kit. I use to work in the industry and I've seen those cheap kits crack and break clearly into pieces.


If you decide to do control arms, I would recommend the OMNI POWER control arms over the Skunk2. OMNI POWER (the designer) designed Skunk2's control arms and sells them at 1/2 the cost. www.omnipowerusa.com

SPC seems to have the best product to me... they just sell a sliding ball joint that goes into your stock a-arm. No bolts to slip, no arms to break, and clearance wont be an issue since you're using OEM suspension arms. Its also a lot easier to adjust than the ingalls-stlye with the rotating bolt/bushing thingy on the inside of the a-arms. They're also right up the street from me! :thumbup:

i say go skunk2, one way u can tell bout the new version of the skunk2's camber kit is, the adjustment bolts r now on the bottom, reason for is to increase clamp load to prevent slidin thus givin more space up top to prevent hittin the top of ur fender.

on my eg, im using the old skunk2 front upper A arm and the rear SRR adjustable kit, works out great. my bro with his ek is usin the old skunk2 front upper A arm with the ingalls rear adjustable kit, works great as well. :thumbup:

yeah I had junk2 camber arms on my car...they lasted less than a year. The adjust slide slot was bent and the ball joints crapped out. I bent back the slot and called for new joints... They wanted $75-80 for new joints so I said "F that" it and bought the new spc units.

The newer designed SPC units are SOOO much better quality than the junk2 I used to use. Thicker, heavier, stronger, easier to change ball joints, more adjustability, easier to adjust.

Im much much much happier w/ the spc arms (front and back)

Plus I think now the SPC stuff comes in forged aluminum which is nice.

My Skunk2 slots where the adjustment bolts are are also bent, but so far haven't had problems after 2 years.
