I'm looking to buy a front and rear camber set. I was pretty much set on Skunk2 (Pro-Series front), but then I saw Buddy Club now has a similar, but less expensive, FR/RR camber kit. So whose product is better? Which would you trust more? For a '99 DX Hatch, if that matters. Thanks.

 

Both are top of the line. This is a personal preferance. I have K2 camber kit. Nothing like brite orange.

 

IMO skunk 2. im sure they are both about the same...but i would just trust skunk2 more than buddy club.

 

buddy club is good quality but if the price isnt THAT much of a difference, go with skunk2.

 

I had the skunk2 kit on my del sol and it was great. I put the buddy club on one of my other del sols and when I looked under the hood I could see where when I hit large bumps the outer edges of the arm pushed up on my strut tower and bent it and made the paint flake off. Not sure if they fixed that but I would go for the skunk2's

 

i have the skunk2 on my hatch and i've been running them for about 3 years now.

my only gripe is that the ball joints don't last anything close to OEM on the S2 kits. i've replaced both upper ball joints twice now (the new proseries joints too), and they keep getting killed.

my car isn't too low (2 finger gap approx) and camber is set at -1 degree in the front. doesn't see much track time so i don't know they keep dying...

 

That is one true think about the S2's

it is because the ball joint doesn't quiete have as much movement as the OEM ones do. so when you get close to bottoming out the ball joint has nowhere else to move so the kinda bind up and will kill them quick.

 

Sooooo, I've broken 2 skunk2 ones. First time it was a bolt stripping out, last time, two of them broke inside the damn thing on the track. Get a good 0 toe alignment and save the money for tires. Thats my .02...

 

That all depends how low he takes his car. May not pay off to buy tires every 2000 miles if he lowers his car a lot. although I lowered my EM1 about an inch and a quarter (whatever tein springs do) on teins and I don't have a camber kit on it right now and my tires have been fine so it's all in how low he goes. I never had a problem with breaking bolts just the ball joints and they aren't that expensive so I'd much rather replace those every year and a half than tires every 6 months.

 

I'm not quite sure how many inches I'll drop; it'll could end up anywhere from two finger to a slight tire tuck (in front). Whatever has the right stance, while still giving me some ground clearance. Coil-overs are next on the list, and they'd all be installed at once.

 

I'd go with the Skunk2 kit, they offer a 1 year warranty on their parts with some reasonable conditions.
