They work fine. I've used them and they're just like the Ingalls kit.

Speciallty fronts work by adjusting a rotataing center with an offset hole for the bolts that attach to the upper A-arm. I don't like how this adjusts. It can work but it's possible for the center to rotate out of position. And the range is limited.
Get the Ingalls or Sprint fronts instead. This offers a greater range of adjustability and is easier to adjust.

As far as SKUNK2s go they're OK except that some users have experienced the bolts having an inability to hold the camber properly during aggressive usage. This can be fixed by changing out the bolts (the originals used allen heads) and roughing up or indenting the surface (with a dremel) where the bolts are tightened down upon, to improve the "bite".

The rear Specialty kits also work with an offset. I'd go with the washer trick however, since it does the same thing and cost only pennies.

how does that washer trick work? where do you put them. i have a 92 integra and the camber is only a litte off in the back and dont want to spend the chips for a kit.
thanks
