My understanding is that the two are functionally identical. The same guy that designed them for Skunk2 is the owner of Omni-Power. There was a thread discussing this topic a long time ago. I'll see if I can find it for you...

edit: Can't find the thread right now but here are some photos for comparison

SKUNK2


OMNI

Skunk2 and Omni are identical. One has the Skunk2 logo and a 20% markup, the other doesn't.

on the topic of ingalls, i just got a set for an awsome deal.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=WDVW

comes with rubber bushings and ball joints. The guy has like 4 left and is a good ebayer (since some of you dislike ebay). Free S&H
Check it out if any of you need a set.

I believe that the Skunk has been redesigned to be stronger and adjustable from the bottom of the arm now.

I'm assuming you have bad tire wear. If so, did you get an alingment and set the toe to 0? If not, that's why your tires are wearing. Toe kills tires, not camber.

Have you guys seen the new SKUNK2 camber kit? It has a top hat/support on the screws on top of the ball joint. The old ones are identical but theres a new skunk2 and its better than before
