Default Skunk2 Camber Kit

Well i got new tires put on today and a 4 wheel alignment and it looks like i need a camber kit after all since im using progress springs. He said its the front right thats messed up but he said the rear is fine. Im looking into getting a skunk2 camber kit for the front for my 98 civic. I was just wondering how reliable this part is and also what are reasonable settings for my camber. Thanks.

I had a set of the older style and to be totally honest, they werent that nice. They lasted about a yr and then the ball joint took a ****.
I recently replaced them w/ the new spc design and I am VERY satisfied w/ them already.

ive had my front kit for 1.5-2 years and no problems, and im not at all easy on my car in corners. ive seen replacement ball joints for about $25 i think, and that was the whole plate/ball joint assembly. mine have been fine thoough...

oh, and i have no idea if mine are the old or new style

I have the progress camber kit, no worries w/this one, no chance of slippage, torn bushings or crapped out ball joints. Keep it simple and w/poly-bushings. Just my thought.

I just got the new Skunk 2 Front camber kit with SPC rear on my EJ2. The Skunk2 control arms are a lot beeffier than the stock civic/integra. I am currently rolling on GSR front and rear hubs. So with the skunk2 and spc, my suspension is a lot better than before. Although, they are rough when hitting bumps. I also heard that they vibrate sometimes. But overall I recommend them. Oh yeah, replacement ball joints are $25 each at INLINE FOUR in Orange County.
