Default skunk2 or omni camber kit?

I'm debating on which camber kit to get. Supposingly omni is pretty much the same as skunk2 because omni came from skunk2. But it seems like lately omni products have had a lot of problems so i'm thinking should i get the skunk2 camber kit instead? Searched around and it seems like skunk2 doesnt have problems like omni products. What would you guys gets? Or should i forget about the camber kits and stay with stock? I'm not exactly sure what my camber is at but its not too bad, i'm running on koni/ground control and my car isn't too low.

The last few omni Camber kits I have seen have been the old design skunk 2 which has several know issues, I would get the new design on the skunk 2's as they fixed the issues wtih slipping.

check to see if thats really what you need. if not you can go with omnipower or skunk2, ingalls and a few others have options for you. the new omnipower camber kits are good, new version ball joints and overall better then the orginal. skunk2 will work too , i believe a bit more $

Spec on most hondas is +.5 to -1.5 so I would think you do not need one, camber kits are really only needed if you are going to be changing you camber a lot for auto-x or road racing. In the past I have run over 30,000 miles with -2.0 camber all around and saw no real ill effects on my tires. As long as your toe setting is correct you should not wear a tire any faster.
