does anyone have one or has installed one of their adjustable upper arms? i need a camber kit, but i wanted to know if the arm comes with the ball joint premounted or not.

 

yep it does........and it just replaces your stock a-arm. It's a simple install.

 

cool thanks i tried emailing skunk2 and they haven't replied yet....

 

I have heard that their camber kit for the front may hit the top of your wheel well in hard cornering or bumps. I was thinking of getting their kit until I heard this, so I might get a different kit. Haven't heard anything else about them though

 

That's kinda scary. So the Ingalls kit would be a better buy then? How easy is the install of the Ingalls?

 

yes it will hit the top of the wheel well. a fellow meber has the skunk camber kit and it has started to put two holes in the metal part. so i dont suggest skunk 2 as the moment

 

whoa i never heard about that before...that sux...

 

Skunk is for fixing and CREATING MORE negative camber.

Ingalls is for FIXING (reducing) negative camber.

Willard has had his Skunk slip from what I hear.

 

Why did you not just ask me, you know i helped my buddy install them...

 

I thought the skunk2 camber kit was specifically designed so it wouldn't hit, and that the ingulls had this problem?

 

the newer skunk2 front camber was revised (compared to the previous arms under the z.speed label) for better fender clearence on the top... as well as having a large range of adjustment (+/- 3 deg).

if you chose to slam your car low enough where the a arm hits the top fender, you should use some stiff springs to keep the suspension from bottoming. realistically the suspension geometry is all messed up when you go too low and handling will suffer.

i hope installing the skunk2 front camber kit is not as hard as installing the ingalls camber kit for a 99 civic..

cuz that **** takes time to do.

 

Yeah, if you get an Ingalls-type kit to correct alot of camber, the stock A-arm will hit that seam inside the fenderwell. The Skunk2 arms will not hit because the arm itself does not move, only the upper balljoint. I heard something about flipping the bolts around on the part where the balljoint is mounted on the Skunk2 arms, but I don't know too much about that.

<--- lowered 2" w/ no camber kits, no abnormal tire wear, and no plans on getting any camber kits because of the problems people have and the cost associated w/ getting them adjusted

 

Good quality camber kit. I have them on my EK coupe and have had no problems with them. My car is also lowered 2.5inches and there are no signs of the A-arms hitting the upper fenders. Install is a snap too...it comes with the ball joint already so it's as bolt-on as it gets.
