I have been having major suspension/steering problems and I found out why after driving my integra for a couple days. The Skunk2 camber kit that I installed 3 months ago broke! The passenger side front ball joint broke off the spindle! My upper A-arm wasn't even connected. I installed everything on my car myself including my H&R race springs about 3 years ago and finally had the money to invest for a decent camber kit (or so I thought). Everything was installed correctly in fact I took my car to a shop up here in Northern Cali who aligns all the cars that come out of Comptech. I have faith in their ability and mine too. I am going to call my dist. and be like WTF! Maybe I should have gone with omnipower!

 

what? skunk2 products.. breaking??? not unbelievable at all...

stop buying junk2 products ppl!

 

That bad huh?

 

their wheel studs break. their springs break. their camshafts (!) break. their upper control arms break. their valve springs break.

what else do they make that doesnt break??

 

The bank

 

Ouch. I always use the SPC/Eibach alignment stuff.

 

Seriously, I had no idea. My inexperience with their products WTF! I guess that'll teach me. I am glad I didn't get hurt though because that is some dangerous ****. I will get a refund though. Got any recomendations on camber kits then? Or struts?

 

why are you bothering with a camber kit anyway? whens the last time you got an alignment?

 

About 3 months ago. They did the alignment about 3 days after I installed the kit. I did the camber kit because I can set my car back to factory spec or more degrees if I want for autocrossing. My car isn't to my liking yet but I figured adjusting the camber would be a good start for street track use. I plan on buying some good struts too I just haven't got the money yet and haven't chosen some. The car is going to be pretty much a track car.

 

then you should just put your stock upper arms back on. the negative camber you get from lowering is beneficial to handling.

whenever you lower your car, you should get an alignment to fix your toe. toe also changes when you lower your car, and the main reason you get bad tire wear, not as much camber anyway.

if you really want to adjust your camber, use eccentric bushings.

 

Where can I get those bushings?

 

You have got to excuse me dude I don't know **** about suspension. All I can do is put it together. If you are telling me that bushings is a good investment then I'll believe you because I am all ears. I really need to do some more R&D when it comes to this stuff because I really want a car that handles beautifully. All of this stuff is exciting but I don't want to waste my money anymore. I am sure you understand.

 

look at SPC or the progress group for alignment stuff.
