Default opinion on skunk2 camber kit

which skunk2 camber kit should i get? im about to order one or the other.

this one?



or these without the adjustable part? (nottice the missing part)



its going to be a 30-40 dollar difference is it really worth it to have the adjustable part? thanks!

what would be the point in buying it if you couldnt adjust it (thats what camber kits are for to correct excessive camber caused by lowering your car)

Also do you need new upper control arm bushings either way wouldnt sound like a bad idea to get the one with new bushings if that is the case

The pieces that are missing from the lower picture are not what adjusts the camber; they are simply what holds the arm to the chassis. If you can re-use your stock bolts then I would think you can get away with purchasing the arms in the bottom picture.

I had a pro kit for a couple years, I loved it. You need to put protectant on the rubber ball joint every few months. That is prolly why these guys are going through them so fast. Good kit, one of the nicer ones I have seen.

Dude for sure get the pro plus with the bushings and everything, its not worth is just to get the tuner series, you'll be much happier with the better kit. Trust.
