Default Skunk2 Rear Camber KIT!!

Sup everyone my first post. I just recently purchased the Skunk2 Rear Camber Kit for my 95 Integra. There is a problem with these kits, the bushings that are on these kits that have a tendency to slide out of their position. I called Skunk and they said they are having a recall on these kits and are revising this product. The person I was talking with said all you would do is return the kit with the receipt and when they have the new revised kit they will send you the kit free of charge . I just posted this on to inform anyone before they bought this kit.

Pictures:




*UPDATE*
Just Recieved my revised camber kits. To prevent the bushings from coming out, they put these caps on the side of the bushings, and made a notch on the rod that goes through the bushings. Then they slapped on some clips on to hold them in place.

hondas always have recalls on their cars. ie. airbag defects on 05 accords.

Skunk2 is skunk2. Just those results makes me want to go the washer method and call it quits.

theres a pic of it.

we also have a rear shim kit, which is included in all front camber kits free of charge. our rear camber kit bushings are oem style with 25% stiffer rubber. we also have a much better warranty 2 years vs 30 days so theres added peice of mind when you buy omnipower products.

big up's to omni!

the omni power one looks more like the srr style bushing those are very hard to come apart.

all I have to say is wow... nice post for the first one. It was informative and helpful to me and a lot of others, and even included halfway decent pics!! you win the best 1st post award!!!!

but in all seriousness... thanks, I was shopping for a rear camber kit, and i think i am not gonna get skunk2 unless I get the re-done one.
thanks
