1st ones - Gen 1
2nd ones - Gen 2

Gen 2 is supposedly better because I've heard rumors of the bolts knocking the top of the shock tower well. I've got omni's (direct copy of skunk2 gen1), and never had any problems.

Second pic are the new ones, which resist slipping better. I'm not even sure if the top pic are skunks, they look like ebay specials to me.

DING DING DING This guy is correct.I have the first ones and the bolt does hit on an ek chassis and the sefcond ones are supposed to fix that?I trimmed the sheet metal in the fender and it doesnt hit anymore but then again my car isn't dumped?

EK ones have bushing
EG doesn't

hmmm the second ones have more adjustment and therefore would hit the tryre well much worse im guessing?

so the 1st pic has the bad ball joints?

My omni's had rubber bushings around the forks.

I dont think its how far they move left and right.I think its how far the bolts stick up on top?I could be wrong but I can tell you that the first ones do hit and the second ones are supposed to be better?

Yeh on my da6 i had an ingalls kit that moved the A arm further out to correct camber it hit the side and top of the fender.

Im guessing the skunks with there adjustment legnth may also kit the side and top.

All in all this kit seems sorta budget maybe the new one is way better, but its hondas fault also for not giving enough wheel well space

i know that it is alot easier to adjust the bolts when they are facing down in the GEN2 versions.
