Default Anyone using a skunk 2 camber kit for dc integra

I just want to know if you have any problems with it banging inside of the fender wells. Also what suspension setup and how low your car is with this kit. Thanks,Adam

I am running Skunk2... the old ball joints did dent up my shock tower, but I just bought the new design ball joints and they actually thread up through the bottom and the top surface is flat. Also i am lowered on Suspension Techniques Springs with at least a 2 inch drop. There is no fender gap on a 205 45 16...Hope this helps, make sure you buy the new design ball joints and you should be fine!

Banging the metal shock tower? That is entirely due to the ball joint being taller than stock, raising the top of the UCA, and killing available suspension travel.

Happens with all sliding ball joint UCAs on an Integra.

Pull the camber kit. They only cause these types of interference issues, and have no business being used on a street car.

Having the toe set correctly will prevent that inner edge wear.

Daily drove for 2.5 years with -4* of front camber, and never saw any uneven or accelerated tire wear. 0* front toe, and frequent toe resetting to keep it there.

Stop hijacking my thread people. There is a stcky in the suspension forum that explains that you need have to have a camber kit on your car. Some people such as myself still want one.
