He was asking for lower control arms, not camber kit. Skunk2 has a gold rear camber kit and I'm pretty sure that's what you are talking about....totally different than what the OP is looking for.

The Skunk2 arms for the 8th gen are known as the rear camber kit, but they are basically the upper control arms.

if its bent and there are any other signs of an accident the will deff not cover it. If somhow they managed to bend without damaging anything else then you might have a chance but i doubt it. Good luck anyway.

I hit a pothole, and going through the same thing myself. Looks like an insurance claim to me. $$$

I hit a curb last November when I hit black ice... Rim did not bend surprisingly just scuffed it pretty good but that's the only thing. I replaced the knuckle, hub, bearing, control arm, ball joint and link... Nice chunk of change. I installed it all myself since I had a bearing press and everything accessible to me. Was really wishing there was some nice front control arms out at that time.
