anybody have or had any experience with the Skunk2 camber kit for 5th gen civics?

Thanks

 

I just ordered one for my 95 coupe... I'm running neuspeed race springs, about a 2.25" drop in front. My camber is way outta whack.

I've heard some stuff about problems with them slipping, but apparantley it can be aleviated by first scratching the powdercoating/paint off of where the bolts make contact, using some loc-tite, and wrenching them down real tight with an allen-head socket (not an allen wrench, can't get it tight enough).

Another problem I've heard is that the allen bolts are too tall, and end up smacking the fender well when you go over bumps, if your car is aggresively lowered. Since the Skunk2's are basically the same as the stock a-arms, but with an adjustable ball-joint mount, the stock arms would hit too. You can replace the allen-headed bolts with flusher-mount regular bolts, and you would also get the added effect of being able to get them a bit tighter easier so they don't slip.

We'll see what happens when I get mine. I really liked the idea of being able to adjust from -6 to +6 degrees of camber, allows for a very flexible setup on the track or on the street if I ever decide to go lower.

Anyway, maybe more people who actually have them can comment more on some of the problems people experience. This is just what I've gathered by reading other threads about these same camber kits.
