Default Camber kit: kmac or skunk2?? Screw Ingalls!

Anyone have any experiences with either of the 2 kit above? >> kmac or skunk2?

I need to pick up the camber kit by the first of the week!! I am leaning more towards the skunk2. I hear both are great kits and DO not have the clearance problems like Ingalls does when dropped low, so that is a plus!!

I can get either kit (they only make the fronts) for about the same amount >> $200!

What do you guys run on your civic's? .....I am almost sure that I can't lose with either, but thought I would ask anyhow.

Thanks!

Does kmac have a web site?

I use the new 2002 Skunk2 front camber kit on my '92 VX with ITR suspension. They are Reinforced A-arms painted red and were easy to install and are very easy to adjust.

I highly recommend them and you can get them for $190 from JDMhondaparts.com.

Are these kits ready to be installed? I was reading on some kits you have to use the stock ball joint (I believe) that was the part. What kind of manufactures warranty come with the skunk2 kits?

Thanks!

Is there anything I should worry about with the skunk2 kit? Sorry, for all the Q's. Just $200 is a lot of $$ to put into this.

I'm curious to the clearance issues. Wouldn't you have this problem with any camber kit? If your car is dropped really low and you are trying to straighten out the camber...then you're tires are much more prone to hitting the fenders aren't they?

I had an Ingalls kit on my previous 98 civic....and the only problem was when I brought it lower and the tire would scrape against the fender. As far as the kit itself...no problems. I'm probably just misinformed...but I was always under the impression that if ur car is slammed to the ground...camber adjusting is a bit more difficult.
