usually if i have to ask about reliability of a part that when it breaks could kill me, it is not a good idea to buy it. If it was me I would stiock with Ingalls or SPC since htey have ben around a long time and proven performers.

i bought some dropzone anchor style bolts and have had no problems with them if you grease the bushings properly. im sure the obx's are o.k. to use but thats just my thought.

i bought obx camber kits for my car a while back. the front kit was the ball joints and the back were the ones that went onto the control arms, the kit for the front didnt fit. they had this thick aluminum plate that the ball joints slid on, to make it fit i would have had to shave at least an inch off of the lip on the control arm. i called the shop i bought it from and they double checked to make sure i had the right part # and i did. they said they didnt know what the hell was going on, at this point i was pretty pissed cause i just had my ball joints pressed out and my front end of my car in the air with my suspention in pieces and i had to go to work the next day. i called obx we tripple checked to make sure i had the right part and i did. all obx told me was sorry buddy no refund your screwed call the shop where you got them from and buy another kit. luckilly for me the shop i bought the kit from was a pretty cool shop, they traded the kit for an ingalls kit(ingalls are great!!) but i had to drive 50 miles from where i was to get them and get there in 45 mins b4 they closed. thank god i made it. the back kit went in fine but didnt have enough adjustment. a month later i took out the back kit to trade it with a spc kit. while i was taking the obx kit out they fell apart in my hands!!! what the hell!! NEVER EVER EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM OBX!!!! THEY ARE WORTHLESS!!!!

i bought a shitty rear camber kit once. they were anchor bolts. they lasted exactly 4 days, cuz when i took the car to an a/x the anchor bolts sheared in 2 runs. yay.

the drive home was ridiculous...

nope, just align it without the camber kit and you'll be fine.
