I have the Password JDM camber and toe kits. They make some pretty beefy stuff. No complaints here.

My 93 hatch came with skun2 rear camber kit. The bushings are shot and squeak over every bump. For all I know these are great and have 100k miles on them. I doubt it though.

Who makes a good rear camber 1992-1995 hatch?

Keep telling yourself that!!! Why would I continue to purchase crap when the prior crap I purchased was crap???? I will be going with buddy club when I do get a chamber kit. If you spend a few hours doing the research, it is a no brainer! I am not a impulse buyer and usually spend hours on hours researching before making a decision.

I concur. The rear ones have been on my car for at least 7+ years, and the rest over a year with no issues. Sturdy and easy to adjust. I recommend these too.

I have done my research. Just because you have your opinion doesn't mean otherwise. Again, have you ever owned their camber kit?

Junk2 is a garbage company. With their past, and their track record, and the way they exploit the tuning community, there is absolutely zero reason to support them.

Buddy Club makes front and rear camber kits for the entire 92-00 range. The front ball joint mount is double reinforced to prevent tear out, and they use high quality hardware to prevent bolt/nut stripping. The bushings are also stupidly high quality. There's no reason to buy anything else.

Browsing SPC's site, their rear kit seems fine, but as far as I can tell their EJ1/2/4 front kit is just replacement ball joints? Their EJ6/8 front kit uses a completely different mounting solution for the ball joint. They don't say anything about structural reinforcement like the BC kit has, but I haven't actually looked at one, so I won't discount it.

Maybe many of their parts are junk, but look up the reviews for their camber kit.

Already did and they are garbage as previously mentioned. There are more bad reviews than there are good. Sorry we didn't look on the skunk2 fanboy site for reviews. You can stand behind skunk2 all you want, but it still does not change the facts!!! Even if their camber kits were good, would you trust a company when everything they have made is junk?

Glad you like your camber kit and hopefully they will function safely. For me and my family, it is not worth risking their safety!

It's all garbage, it's been proven many times. The ball joints don't come with enough grease in them, and the boots are crap. The bushings are junk, and i've seen the bolts snap with no warning leaving the ball joint hanging.

For the rear, they are the nosiest pieces of **** I've ever heard. squeaks, pops, you name it. Brand new out of the box.

Being those 3? Buddy club.

I recommend you take a look at AMR camber kits, or SPC.

So you say no to PWD:JDM but ask about even crappier than S2 Blox?
