Default Are there ANY good front/rear camber kits out there?

I am getting a new suspension set-up soon(koni/gc w/tophats 400f/500r or something of the sort), along with new wheels, and I've been searching around for info regarding f/r camber kits. I also track my car and would like to introduce some negative camber into the mix and have the option later to play around with the settings finding out what is best for me.

However, I haven't really seen anything that has jumped out at me as far as quality. The ones available that I've seen are the Skunk2, Omni, Blox, Ingalls, T1R and SPC. None of them really look any better than the other. The SPC is the only one that looked a bit different but it only has the one bolt holding it in spec .

The same applies for the rear camber kit. SRR, Skunk2, Omni, blah, blah, blah. Same ****. There is, however, the King Motorsport piece. Holy jeebus it's expensive but definately looks top notch . I wish they made a front kit of the same quality.

I am more concerned with the front kit at this point. The rears look to be a no brainer but I'm concerned about the fronts "slipping" out of spec.

So my question is: Do I just buy whatever since they all look the same? Or is there some kick *** forged piece out there that I don't know about?

Any other relevant info or if I haven't giving enough info please let me know.

DOn't know if this helps or not, but I never had the slightest problem with my skunk2s (the original version) slipping or failing in any way. The only problem was that the bolt heads would make contact with the fenderwell under extreme compression due to me being on relatively soft suspension.

They've since updated and redesigned the adjustment part of the kit and it seems to be much beefier and isn't supposed to make any contact with the sheetmetal anymore.

HTH

edit. forgot to state that I had mine on my daily driver, loads of autocrosses (where it made contact), and about 4 track events over a span of 3 years. I was very happy with them.

Thank you Dave and Erik for your input

Edit: I noticed on Skunk2's website that there is no ITR, or Integra for that matter, application for the rear camber kit. WTF?

JHP lists them. They should be the same for all EG, EK, and DC chassis.

Front: A-Sports

I'm pretty sure Mikehonda is using these in his DC2R. Reid might have them also.

After doing a lot of reading here and on other forums i bought Skunk2 camber adjusters but i havent fitted them yet. I m not really concerned about the rears as i have yet to have a rear tyre wear on the inside whereas the fronts do.

I'm using the spherical A sports arms in the front and rear. There is no way the adjustments can slip with their design. I will be picking up another set for the JDM ITR.

SPC over here. Austin had a great thread about them long ago though. We took pics from SEMA when they were first released.

The A-Sports are WAY too ballin' for me. At this point I will most likely go with the Skunk2 pro series front and back. Seems to be a good bang for buck

I also have never had a problem with the original version Junk2's. But I took the precautions of using longer bolts with lock/star washers and sanding the paint off to help avoid slipping. Theyve been on the car for a few years now, seen numerous beatings on the drag strip (wheel hop and all) and been HPDE twice.

Those SPCs look damn nice though
