Problems with Skunk2 rear camber plate bushings
OK guys, here's the drill. I put the HFP suspension on my '07 Si and didn't like the negative camber (I autocross the car) so I put a set of Skunk2 plates on the rear, set the suspension at 0 negative camber, 0 toe, and the car could be forced into moderate oversteer. Worked great.
Jump forward 6 months & 3000 miles. While changing the rear rotors last night I noticed a LOT of play in the rear suspension, both sides. I pulled the upper control arms (Skunk2) and found the bushings on both end wallowed out. I had used the lubricant supplied with the arm kit so I'm at a loss of why the bushings died in 6 months. Any ideas or did I just screw up the installation ???

Re: Problems with Skunk2 rear camber plate bushings (Dracomeister)
I have the same problem and have contacted Brian from Skunk2 on 8thcivic.com via PM's. He suggested that i take pictures of the problem area and send them to him. This was about 2 months ago and i have yet to actually do this. You may have better luck on 8thcivic contacting him. Please due keep us updated here if you take any action towards the problem.
