Default rear end sliding

ok this isnt a question for me first of all.
this is for my friend john (MugenPwrFG2)
he has an 06 si and has it lowered on eibachs the pro kit i believe and the other day we installed the skunk 2 rear camber kit because after lowerin it the rear it just seemed to kick out everytime he hit a bump and or if the pavement was slippery.

the skunk2 kit we installed looks to be legit the wheels in the rear have barely any inward camber at all which i read was almost perfect. i dont know much more about these cars suspension. but he does have some 18x7.5 inch rims for it and cheap *** tires but i dont think the tires should be an issue with the car actually kicking out over a little bitty bump!

if someone could give me some advice on this so we can try and fix it i and he would appreciate it!

Thanks,
Max

the toe being off can cause the rear end to want to change directions, that's what I'm guessing the issue is. GL

I just added Tein H-tech, Skunk2 arms, and a Progress sway. OMG does this thing grip the road on even the POS all season tires. As soon as I get a nice day to get the car to an alignment shop, mine is getting dialed in. I got mine as close as possible too, but still needs an alignment. Most people don't get the car aligned and this is just a necessary step when changing any suspension component.

Good luck
