SPC or Skunk 2 Rear Camber Kit?

subee13 · 02-25-2007, 10:40 PM

Hey Guys... I am going to buy my suspension components tomorrow. I am going with the progress setup (springs and RSB). I am wondering if there is a difference between the SPC Rear camber kit and the Skunk 2 camber kit. I am getting the springs and the rear sway bar for $285 shipped and I can get the RSB, Springs and SPC Rear camber kit for 506 shipped. I know the Skunk 2 Rear camber kit is $200 on a good day on ebay so i could save myself $21. (hey its almost a fill up of gas).

So SPC vs Skunk 2. Any differences? Good or bad?

both are good choices...IMO its a difference of looks. get what you like...its your ride. skunk2 camber arms serve the same purpose as the SPC versions and vice versa. of course the skunk2 arms are milled out and come in different colors but its going to be underneath your car. unless someone is specifically looking for that part they won't know the difference.

how you drive, air pressure, how much of a drop, compound of tires, etc...too many variables.

Your asking for a blow-out. and that = dangerous
If your wearing out just the inside tread of the tire (which you can't see) it'll blow out very quickly but you won't even know till it's done it, or you get down and inspect it regularly. I wouldn't take the chance.
Plus you'd lose all effective handling, which is half the purpose of lowering to begin with.. :\

Hence why I am getting Skunk2's camber kit along with their racing springs

I have heard nothing but bad things about their springs. Good luck let us know how they are.

bizzybearfigiblue · 02-28-2007, 09:45 PM

From who? Skunk2 has excellent quality control unlike other foreign crap I know of.

i have had skunk 2 products in the past and have had no trouble with them. i had a SPC front camber kit on my old accord and they were horrible shit the bed in one summer. skunk 2 ftw!

4ADAM12 · 10-08-2007, 09:11 PM

Just ordered HFP suspension

In this thread Izzy suggested the SPC over the Skunk2. Apparently some people have had rattling from the Skunk2. I too am curious which camber kit to go with.

Highrev1 · 10-08-2007, 09:15 PM

I like the SPC's cause they can be adjust without having to remove them from the car. BUT..there is a rumor that they won't get the right alignment at stock height, -1 degree, it is getting looked into though

Xtreme Thunder · 10-08-2007, 09:16 PM

I just purchased SPC three days ago. Have not received to install yet. Personal preference really.

bizzybearfigiblue · 10-08-2007, 09:16 PM

for ease of install/adjustment/etc... the SPC kit is better but for looks i'd say the Skunk2... but it's not like anyone can really see there unless u look between the spokes or under the car...

i have the SPC kit and no problems whatsoever

What are you dropped on? I just installed my HFP suspension today want to be sure I can get a good range of adjustment.

bizzybearfigiblue · 10-08-2007, 09:36 PM

i'm on S-Techs... my friend had the SPC kit on his Flex and he had no problem with adjustment at whatever height he put it...
