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.

i've had mine in for about 3-4 weeks now and have not had any knockin on my upper fender well, so interpret that as you like. As for squeeking, i had a little the first 2 days, then it all just went away. So i actually think i over tightened where the arms bolt up and that the rubber busshings were squeeking against the a arm but now its all gone.
But honestly, i just couple days ago heard about the problem that migs had with his balljoint and am a bit concerned with it. I am pretty close to skunk2's/group A's location so was considering headin over there to talk to them about it when i get the time. I hope that gives you some more input. Oh and as far as the slipping, well, i haven't had it on my car yet, and to my recollection it happened on some of the other members cars becuase they didn't tighten down teh allen head bolts enough. But i could be wrong
