I agree with the poster above. SPC is what I bought and will put in next weekend. I was going to go with the Skunk2 cambers but I read an article that was not so good. Sww below for the link to the article.

I order my SPC ball joints from Import Auto preformance
http://www.iapdirect.com
They were 145.00 and there is free shipping on all cambers right now.

Those are the old style skunk UCA's. They have since fixed the slipping issue with a much better design than the allen bolts.

The new kit looks like this (jacked from another thread):

You need to get new tires. Anyways, I feel like i've exhausted this phrase, but i'll say it anyway. Camber isn't what wears tires, its toe. Get your car to an alignment shop and have them set the toe back to spec. If your really dead set on a camber kit, I guess i've heard good things about skunk2.

skunk2 over any ball joint style, all day.

the problem with ball joint camber kits is that they tend to have clearance issues with the top of your wheel wells, so if you don't enjoy hearing that loud, disturbing clunk as you go over bumps, go with the skank 2.

it would take a shitload of camber to wear tires noticeably. think 3 or 4 degrees.

even then, toe wears tires much faster.

welcome to HT i have a G2 as well. i use the SPC kit number 84955. it pushes you out 1.5-3.5 or something.. just dont go too far out becasue your upper arms will hit your fender. keep it reasonable and dont lower your car liek 5 inches and you should be good to go. took me about 2 hours taking my time with hand tools

i like the new style skunk2 camber arm, but i really like the new SPC arm, too bad both are too expensive for me so ill just stick with the older stle skunk2 camber arm.
