Camber Kit Problem
so i have a problem with my skunk 2 camber kit on one of my tires. The bolts have come lose and now theres only 2 left which is causing my tire seem that it is about to fall off! (second time this happens)... does this mean i need a new camber kit or how could i fix this?
get two more of those bolts to replace the lost ones, it's easy! While you're at it, put some big beefy washers in there to increase the contact area and prevent any possible slippage in the future. And get an alignment.
they are coming loose and falling out? That shouldn't be happening. Who is doing your alignment? Are you tightening those bolts down enough? The bigger washers will help keep them from slipping and loosening.

Does Skunk2 provide a recommended torque for those bolts? Sounds like they aren't being tightened enough. Though I have heard a few people claim that it takes washers, and the removal of the powder coating on the arms, to keep those bolts in place.
Never had an issue with my SPC UCAs slipping or otherwise loosening, though I do insist the alignment tech torques the single nut down to the recommended 120 ft-lbs...

try this:
put some "permatx loc-tite thread sealer" on your replacement bolts, you should be able to get this at an auto parts store for about $7 or less. they have different versions of this too, the blue version should be good enough.
*remember to get the correct torque specs, and torque them up.
hope this helps!
