I have skunk2 control arms on my 94 gsr...Buying the arms was definitely one of the smartest moves I ever made. An alignment will be required soon after you put them on....also, check this site out http://www.importhorizon.com....that's where i got mine...187 shipped to your door...can't beat that...hope that helped...

I have had them for about 6 months/20,000 miles now, and haven't had any trouble with them...

i've had em for about 8k miles and so far so good.... and i'm pretty happy with them.... if you wanna checkout pics of the install and ish then go to my website linked in my sig (then go to the DIY section). THere are many people on the board who use them... and some who have had some difficulties with them.. but even still have good things to say about skunk2 and their efforts to resolve the problem.

haha... thanks alot... i appreciate ur comment. Yea, i'm a visual learner myself so i like for install guides n such to be as detailed as possible... and when its not.. i feel bad IMing like another HT member a gazillion times tryin to understand it all before werkin on it ya kno? So i figured, save other people the trouble and do write ups for all my fellow visual learners heheh... and my b18b brotha's haha.

But yea, migs had issues with the balljoint when he got the skunk2 kit and skunk2 i think replaced them with newer one solid piece ones. ANd i believe several people have had issues with the rubber boot of the balljoint tearing. Those are 2 specific issues that people had... but so far i've been ok and it gave me alot of reassurance when the guy at the alignment shop commented that they were the best camber kits he had ever seen(he didnt sell em to me by the way).

I have them for about a year now and love them except for on ething. The ball joint dust covers are absolutely junk. they wore out on mine in about 3 mo. I would HIGHLY recamend buying a set of the poly balljoint covers and install tehm right off the bat. As a matter of fact im going to email skunk2 right now and see what the replacement balljoint part no is cuz mine r fuked. I put them on and didnt even look at them for 6 mo, so whenn i did i figured the boot was tore for at least 3 mo from the condition the joint was in

And where exactly do you get the "poly balljoint covers"?

I've had mine for 4 months now...maybe I should go look...will do when my GC top hats come in.
