when u get these in u r gonna need to put some money aside for alignment. i alredy went through of Kumhos in 6 months because my steering was off. also for some reason i still experience camber during certain parts of the day. for instance when its hot its cambers a little but when its cold the camber looks fine. Sound weird? the camber is adjusted as far as it can go.
Well yeah, whenever you change anything in you're suspension you need an alignment, that goes without saying. Also, you're gonna want to let the alignment shop adjust your camber using your kit, don't just eye it yourself. They did mine a few months ago and I have no visible wear to date.

you must get an alignment done with the Skunk2 kit. as you set the camber more toward zero, your toe out will be really out. car steers funny on flat roads, burning rubber smell, nasty stuff.

Damn. These things have already dropped in price. I remember I bought mine from ghettoracer (when he was frank@b16.com) for 200 shipped. And that was the best price at the time.

I really like my skunk 2 kit, it just squeeks alot.

How low are you cccya w/ your h22 swap? My motor is going in soon and im wondering how low you can actually go without screwing up the axle joint angles.
