Default camber kit questions

alright so i went to get an alignment for my car, and i found out my camber is way off. the rear is about 2 degrees negative, and the front 1.5 degrees negative. so the mechanic recommended to me to get a camber kit if i wanted to keep my car at its current height. so now my question is... which one?

for the past few hours, i have found but only good things for the SRR rear camber kit. so that is most likely what i will get for rears. as for the front, this is my real debate. i have been reading that skunk2's camber kits have had tearing balljoint problems on their later models. so i don't know if i should go for the skunk2 or not. the other choice i was thinking was to get the SPC front camber kit. which one do you guys suggest?

as for the SPC front camber kit, which one do you guys have (model number specific)? is there only 1 type? because i have only found a ball joint only version. here is the link ...

my other question is, can i just get the ball joint and attach it to my stock A-arm?

would you guys get the SRR rear camber kit and SPC front camber kit? or would you just go straight with SPC all around? tornactive sells both front and rears from SPC

please help. i am in urgent need of a camber kit. thanks in advance

edit: the link to the arms on spc's website was for the rear arms only. sorry about that. i guess there isn't a modified a-arm from SPC?

if you are asking about your 00 si, this is my opinion... buy the skunk 2's for the front and get some longer bolts and washers for the rear... get about 10mm longer bolts and 12 or 16 washers all the same thickness this should be plenty to take care of two degree's... most kits come this way anyway and you don't really need an adjustable arm if you are not changing it very often... as far as having problems with skunk 2 uca's i have customers autocrossing for two summers and haven't seen any problems yet... good luck tom
