i've already done a search and read pretty much every thread involving the Skunk2 pieces -- i came across pretty mixed reviews, to say the least.
i've already ordered the arms to be used in conjunction with my current spoon spring/stock shock setup. i came across a number of instances in which the arms slipped -- this does not seem to be that big of a deal to me, and i'm sure that i can correct it with minimal effort. however, i also came across problems involving both the balljoints as well as problems with the A-arm contacting the fenderwell. can anyone shed some light on either of these problem
also, will i have to modify the arm in any way in order to make it work well, and if so, how would i go about doing this? thanks for all your input.

nobody has any feedback/reviews about the UCA?

 

If you swap left/right to gain caster, you will lose a little clearance. Check the ball joint boot often as it degrades quickly.

what are the replacement options for when the ball joint does, in fact, crap out on me? thanks for your help!

I tore a boot (my own fault) on my kit and called Skunk2 to inquire about getting a new boot. The guys says "ok, what's your address I will get one out today". No charge and arrived 3 days later.

They seem to be pretty easy to work with you might call Group-A/Skunk2

 

I guess I am going to have to call because they have been ducking my emails adount new balljoints.

I had the clearance issue but fixed it with a little grinding of the hex head bolt
I also have had a problem with the ball joint boots. I have not fixed this yet.\

I have never had them slip. I do not autocross and am not very agresive on the street.

well that makes me feel better about my purchase! if you don't mind, could you PM me the number that you called, just so that i have it? i'd really appreciate it. also, as with most warranty issues, did they request that you ship the torn boot back to them? thanks again for all your help.

this makes me want to stay away from them. I was going to get some in the next week or two. Not now.

 

after doing some research, i've determined that they're still pretty nice pieces -- they just have a few issues that you need to be aware of.

I like the Skunk2 arms. They give me the camber adjustment I NEED.

I ordered my Skunk2 arms a few months ago, and after putting a small amount of mileage (mostly highway), the balljoint seperated AND the boot tore on both sides. I sent them back to Skunk2/Group A and they got me the new balljoints with no charge. I was happy.

The arms hit my chassis only because my car is WAY low. Probably lower than it should be.

Here is a thread that I made https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=281597

Very well put.

This is more commonly the case than any design flaw in the arms.
