spc is a PITA to install but easy to adjust. costs about $230-250

skunk2 is easy to install but the tire must be removed to adjust. costs about $180 shipped

also, SPC is much heavier (about 5 times as heavy as skunk2), to some of you weight consious people may want the skunk2.


the choice is up to you.

EDIT: just checked skunk2 prices....they are much higher than they used to be. same as SPC now.....

Skunk2 is what I got. Its lighter and easy install. Removing the tire is not much of a hassel.

wow..i just checked and tehy jacked up their prices (i got mine for $180 a few months ago, but sold it for a SPC kit). well i guess since both kits cost theh same now, you mind as well go with teh SPC, definatly a better product.

No camber bolts in the back . . . only camber arms. (bolts on the front for the struts, arms in the back for the multilink)

I have the SPCs. I wonder if the cam-lock configuration on them is easier to get knocked out of adjustment than the set screws on the Skunks?

I see that now . . . that's easier than I thought. They had a lot of trouble with my car at the alignment shop (seems a common problem in my area) . . . I think I'm going to build a home brew smart string system soon so I can roll my own alignments.
