The NEW Skunk2 full replacement one (I think it's called the Pro or something) rocks. Everything else sucks, but you may not be able to run it in your class depending.

But you can run them in ST classes, right?

My class is STS 2... Does anyone currently run the Skunk 2 units?

I am. I've run several different kits before these (rotating ball joint, inner pivots) and there is no comparison IMO.

Phil-

 I run them on my STS civic.  I have the Skunk2 ProSeries.  They are nice pieces.  I did have a problem with the camber setting slipping early on.  I felt the bolts were low grade.  It was tough to get them tight enough without chewing up the heads. I guess that is why they sell so many replacement bolt sets.  I had to put a little blue loctite on the threads to help keep them secure.

Like I said nice pieces, but they do add another thing that can go wrong.

Is it possible to adjust caster to some degree with the new Skunk arms?

Yes I still have it, 62hp at the wheels, more than I should have spent. Wanna buy it?

No, the only way yo adjust caster on a double wish bone is using washers on the lower control arm.

Thanks guys, that's the info I was looking for.  I found some other brands for half the price of the Skunk 2s, but I think I will go with the Skunks.  Even the pictures look like they could be a stronger unit...

SPC makes a nice set also. I've placed the Skunk2 and the SPC side by side and the SPC is a much higher quality piece. They are actually heavier and heavier duty than the stock upper control arm.

The new Skunk2 (Pro) or the old one?

Frankly, I would not want anything heavier than the Skunk2 pro series arm.

RE: The Skunk 2 adjusters... has anyone determined what the actual negative camber adjustment range is on these?

There's nothing Pro about Skunk2, but yeah they were the Pro versions.
