Default Camber Kit

So my front right skunk 2 camber kit broke... is it worth replacing it with the same good brand or go for a cheap one on ebay? im worried if i go with a cheap one, i will have problems with it later and my car handles very well with the suspension set up it has and i dont want to mess that up.

Thanks ahead for any imputs.

Why downgrade? If your turbo craps out, would you look into getting a DC header, or would you replace the turbo? Just replace the broken part.

thanks for the info, its true - cant be downgrading. yea i found some spc camber kit for $40 on craigslist less than a month on them...should i trust craigslist?

it feels more reliable if the part i put in my car brand new, you kno what i mean?

also 40 bucks for spc is very cheap, and that makes me think y he is selling so cheap

man their stuff is nice...

i currently run their upper a-arms and i love them- very solid construction and nice ball joint vs. some of the crap out there.

Id look into a different brand, other than the skunk2, simply because the upper arm hits my shock towers, punching holes through it.

Then again, if your car isnt that low, then you should be ok with getting the same replacement.

are you sure the bolts were facing down instead of up? i've seen that a billion times, but only when the bolts were facing the wrong way...
