Who Makes A High Quality Camber Kit?
 

So the suspension is likely going in this weekend. (Koni yellows and GC coils.) But I figure while i'm there i'll go ahead and put a camber kit in front and rear and save myself the time later on. So what is a good brand of camber kit.
Skunk2 is nice I know, but a little pricey. If they are the nicest for the price than I'll get them but I'd like to know what everyone else thinks. Any feedback about past experiances with different camber kits is greatly appreciated. BLOX. OMNI etc... I think OBX makes a kit too. let me know what you think. Thanks guys.

Just buy the Skunk2 front and rear kit together, you'll save that way. I wouldn't cheap out on suspension b/c you'll end up having to replace/upgrade it sooner. So, I say spend the money now wait until you can.

I like the skunk2 front/rear camber a lot(pro series + front version), but I had to dremel the rear camber kit, the arms that bolt to the inner chassis.

There was a rounded area where the bushing sits that wouldn't allow the arms to sit even/flush against the mounting area.

see the mounting arms and the rounded edge that leads to the outer part of the bushings. Well mine, that rounded area stuck out a little more

I had buddy club front and rear for a while, probably higher quality than skunk2.

How was the fit on the buddy club kit?

Same as skunk2, i just prefer the quality and looks of the p-1's over the skunk2's. Plus they were designed for lowered cars with their low profile locking nuts on the adjustable plate. And it includes all bushings and the ball joint prepressed.

yea I'd have to get the pro series of skunk2 to get the control arm bushings already installed almost $400. other wise they are another 50 bucks with the tuner kit which as $360 anyway.. What about BLOX? Anybody heard about / had any dealings with those kits? They look decent and are like $200

Never heard anything about Blox, but I have an Eibach camber kit. It didn't come with the ball joint, but it is a quality kit; fit and looks very nice.

I decided to go with the blox kit. It's nice. fits swesome and looks sweet. Came with ball joints, new nuts, cotter pins. It's super easy to adjust. I'll do a full write up on them later.

adjustable camber kits in general are made for lowered cars. Especially with skunk2's front adjustable plate design.

once i finish my turbo project i'm gonna work on suspension and i plan on getting the buddy club kit. It's probably much nicer than the skunk2.

I know this, i meant for even lower applications, thanks for the lesson though. The buddy club kit has a lower profile on the front kits to avoid rubbing on the wheel well, unlike the skunk2 kit. They have a reinforced sliding system that allows a tighter grab on the locking nuts, thus improving structural integrity.

the yellow a arm is similar to skunk2's

All I'm saying is that the plate on the skunk2 is probably the same thickness as the head to those bolts, only difference is the plate on the buddy club is on the bottom. It's not very thick, but it is pretty much the same as the buddy club version.

both have the same design, just one has the plate on top and the other on the bottom.

and if you want to go into further debate, does the buddy club offer a polyurethane version?

I'm not putting down the buddy club version at all, but the comparison in the pic is what a generic brand would be like compared to it. Skunk2 does not fall into that category.

The comparison is the head height of the bolts, which allows for more suspension travel. Thickness isn't a key concern for the plate considering the plate material's strength is way beyond anything dd'ing or tracking will see. They have different designs. Buddy club uses a solid mounting without tampering with the bolt clamping force like the skunk2's. As for the middle picture, it is the exact same frame design as skunk2's. The reason buddy club chose an under mounting position is to cut down on the stresses the bolts see and disperse the overall load throughout the end of the frame and slider, rather than on top like skunk2's creating a lot of stress on each of the four bolts.

Simply put, Buddy club kit is subjected to mostly horizontal stresses on the bolts (which is good), while the skunk2's design is subjected to vertical and horizontal stresses and strains due to the plate slider placement (more stress=bad).

Does buddy club offer poly urethane bushings? yes

Does skunk2 fall into the pictures category? simply put, yes, the frame design is nearly identical for the exception of the reinforcement placement on the right hand picture.

ok now that I went to the website I actually understand what you're talking about the plate area being a solid piece, a pic would've helped lol. I would agree that is a better design, but I have yet to read/hear anything about skunk2 warping the center area.

but as for the plate being on the bottom, it doesn't make a difference. the plate skunk2 uses is pretty much the same height as the low profile bolts buddy club uses to secure the underside plate. same height/clearance, just one has the plate on top

and if I did know about the solid frame design I probably would've gone with BC(polyurethane version, just because I'm like that)
