SPC, if you can still get them.

Hardrace is a get choice, they make great quality parts at a good price.

Yep, Skunk2 rear camber kit's are very well known to be extremely loud when hitting bumps. Squeaking, pops, etc.

I haven't heard any other issues besides that. My buddy had them on his integra and they made all kinds of noises. They were about a year old when the noise started.


Also, I haven't heard anything bad about buddy club camber kits.

I'm really glad I didn't waste $300-$500 on camber kits and alignments. Considering that they're ultimately worthless for daily driving.

Don't get one of those skunk2 ebay-knockoff ones. the actual part is fine but if you do, spend some money on replacing the bolts, as the iron arm is fine, the bolts and nuts are not, so I'd spend a few bucks on zinc coated grade 5 hardware.

Ball joints have been known to suck as well.
