Default Skunk2 Noise

I've heard a lot of noise about Skunk2 camber kits and I just wanted to get the low down. I was told there good and bad so I want to know what someone else thinks.

I've slammed my hatchie down and have positive camber in the front and need to adjust them. Let me know what's up.

I have the front kit on my civic, and it seems to be working ok. The welds were ok, and they fit good. I haven't Auto-X'ed with them yet, but for daily driving they hold up .

u dont need a camber kit. Just get an alighnment and you will be fine. Camber dosent kill tires, toe kills tires. My coupe is dropped 2.5 inches and iv had no increased tire wear, and im running azenis. But before i got an alighnment i went threw a brand new set of front tires in a mounth!!!

Geez, instead, I'll just get smaller rims. I'm running 205/55/16's right now on my hatchie. I'm going to drop down to some 15's. Probaby 205/50/15's.

I should be able to drop another inch right? After that would I need the camber kit?
