Default Camber kit Q's

I was starting my install of my new Tokico Illumina shocks and notice my adjustable crapo Revo ball joints are shot as @#%

Any one know a good cheap place to get a good camber kit .. meaning the hole upper adjustable control arm..

Are the ebay one any good?

or perhaps you might have suggestion of a ebay kit or other site I could go too....

My question on the ebay ones.... some look to not come with Ball joints ... would I use the stock ball joints with those? is that worse than some Skunk2 set or Skunk2 knock offs?

Is Skunk2 camber kits worth the extra $$$

Please help..... my ball joints look dangerous going to have to get new setup quick

when it comes to suspension components, you dont wanna cheap out..get the Skunk2 camber kit since its the whole upper arm and ball joint that you want..its only about $150..so yes, you do want to spend the extra money in this case..

you don't need a camber kit so don't waste the money, drop it get alignment and have the toe set to 0 and you will be fine.

whats bad about the cheaper arms? You have heard terrible things about them? it is mostly just a chunk of metal...

Why are the others besides Skunk2 bad?
