I know there are posts out there covering this, but I can't seem to locate them when searching. So here goes...

1) Do the "new style" sk2/ Omni front camber kits still require modification (ie. hex-head bolts and washers)?

2) Are these "new style" kits still the same across the board? (Blox, Omni, Skunk, Megan)

3) If they are different, what are the differences??

4) When people refer to the "new style," what exactly has changed?

thanks

 

Bump. Someone has to know this stuff.

 

only skunk2 has the "new" style, at least omni still does the old style. its a big improvement in durability over the previous way by sandwiching the arm.

 

Does it still require the new bolts and washers, as I have often seen stated by others?

 

Bump!

 

Bump for answers.

 

I'm sure they included all the necessary hardware in their new camber kit packages. In the future, if you're really hard up for an answer and when searches and bumps don't turn up anything, you could try contacting the manufacturer/vendor directly.

 

Werd. Thanks, but I don't think that the staff at Skunk 2 would be willing to give me info on how to improve on their product by replacing hardware and whatnot, but I could be wrong.

 

Still curious.

 

i wouldnt be sure of anything from skunk2. but it seems their redesign improved the robustness of their design, eliminating the need to replace the hardware.

 

Thanks, that is kinda what I was looking for.

But... Does anyone know if Omni has done the same? I am looking to save a few bucks here.

 

no. same old design.

 

i've been using the revised skunk2 for almost a year - no slippage at all... which is nice. i didn't use any extra hardware (just what came with it).

only problem i have is that i'm too low ( and i'm not even dumped )... i'm getting dents from those arms up top

Yep I have heard of It, I guess it happens becuase the Skunk 2 A-Arm is longer than a stock a arm.

i didn't actually believe it'd happen to me... i'm not dumped or anything.. but its enough to make me want to try Ingall's or something.

 

sigh... more reason not to bother buying omni/skunk2 suspension products. they just arent designed properly.

i haven't heard much about skunk2's coilovers... but i've heard horrible things about omni. i think in the future, i'll avoid that style of camber kits
