skunk 2 front camber kit question

As far as I can tell the strap is useless. I’ve always wondered about that thru the years. The only issue might be the vertical spacing, and is why I cut the strap and used the cut off pieces as little spacers/washers. It did look however like it could work fine w/o those in place too.

Proof that you do not need the strap is the fact that you can use Ingalls, SPC, or Progress style anchors which do not have strap between them.

Thanks for your help
I will now finish doing my suspenion :).kudos

JHP also sells the HR ones, not sure if the bushings are much different (they look different but I’m not sure of the durometer differences) or not but I think the HR ones look infinitely better. But they are more expensive. http://www.jhpusa.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=8879&idcategory=0

I called them and they said they dont have those in stock
I needed some asap
So I might go skunk2 for now
Better than nothing

So did you get your kit to correct your camber or adjust it for looks/performance?

I got it becuase im doing all of my suspension…
Im going skunk2 becus as stated earlier I had replaced my old broken oem ones with gay ass jdm sport ones becus funds were low at the time , so now that im going to do all of my suspension
Im going for something that ive heard good things about
And thats the skunk2 a arms

Im not gonna ridiculously slam my car
I think thats dunb

I want to track it this summer…thats my goal
But will see
Its realy all on money lol

If you’re going to track it or a good deal of your driving is spirited, then be sure not to correct too much camber. Negative camber is good for handling (to a point). If you’re interested in track days you should come out and spectate at one of the HFF events coming up. We’ll be running at Chuckwalla this saturday and Buttonwillow on April 14th. You can check out all of the schedule at http://svc.speedventures.com/fly.aspx?layout=events&series=352 as well as rules… It’s a great group of guys, really friendly and welcoming to track newbies.

And if you are interested in tracking the car I’d focus your funds on safety and reliability then just focus on driving. Don’t worry about any performance mods.

very true, i run -2.5 front and -1.8 rear because i track it, it looks a lil funky with my street tires on cuz they have no offset but it looks and handles great with my race tires

Unfortunately its my DD
But im planning on buying another car
Just to commute to work and stuff

Ive been wanting to spectate one…but work schedule has not been going my way lol

I havent really looked into the camber adjustments since im not quite at that stage of tuning
But it doesnt sound like a bad idea ro start gettting familar with modding suspension for different tracks and what not

Ill take your advice :slight_smile:
Reliability? What do you suggest me do first?

Don’t even think about tuning for different tracks yet, you’re miles away from that stage. Just shoot for a good semi-aggressive street setup and you’ll be just fine.

Reliability? It’s just the obvious stuff:

  • you trust the engine is reliable?
  • plenty of meat on your brake pads and rotors
  • no oil, fuel, coolant… leaks
  • tires have suitable tread
  • suspension is in good shape (no play in wheel bearings or ball joints…)

Generally if the car is maintained well and is a reliable road going vehicle you’re fine, the only reason I point out reliability is because these cars are old and some people put up with strangely unreliable daily drivers.
