I've sold a couple and no complaints...least not yet... Blox offers some other aftermarket parts like TBs etc...haven't heard of any probs from my suppliers..

Make sure you can get bushings that fit them.

i think paz had them and complained that they broke easy

you could look into the SPC adjustable balljoint

They work great with no problems, and as for paz saying they break its impossible, he did not do something right. Its not easy to break that. Also the bushing is available for them too. Lots of friends use them here and have great results.... Very Happy

at what point on the arm broke ?

Alright the Areospeed is utter crap. I drove to south nearly 5 times a week and those little holes on the road broke them all in a matter of weeks on installation.
after that I used the SPC adjustable ball joint, they were good but did not camber the wheels enough for the 17" thus cutting the inner of the tire, later on the dust cap just ripped off after constant driving and the ball joint just lost its stiffness and got really lose causing the car to really feel outta control.
Then I bought the imitation SKUNK2 camber kit which cambered the car enough for the 17" but after 2 months the ball joints gave way, also they were put together rather slopy, they did not lineup under the car i had to force one of them on, and you could have seen the difference, they were bent under the car but the ball joint held the wheel straight.
Last investment was taking the imitation balljoint and replacing the inner part with polysteel which cost about 500TT, that held the balljoint like new and since then I have no problems.
I did how ever bought the skunk 2 front camber kit as they have been proven to stand up to anything.

Hope this helps..... Wink

mR jdm

from what I read

those did not break under normal use other wise alot more would be breaking

no fault of the parts

1. u over cambered ... angle would stress any oem or aftermarket part

2. "Then you bought the IMITATION SKUNK2 camber kit which cambered the car enough for the 17" but after 2 months the ball joints gave way, also they were put together rather slopy, they did not lineup under the car i had to force one of them on, and you could have seen the difference, they were bent under the car but the ball joint held the wheel straight. "

3. Note the first generation of the skunk arms also had problems with the balljoint and bushings.. the revised one best

^^ just giving my experiences with the camber kits man. You have anything to add?

red_dragon · Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 3:03 pm Post subject:

well I added what caused your problems

and doh bawl is $h1t parts when you installed / used them incorrect

at persent I run a SPC front and Blox rear camber and toe arms

no problems

As for the front camber it was on the car over 5yr only had to replace the balljoints

The blox rear parts on the car 1 year

just make sure u can get parts to replace the ball joint and bushings

the version I have uses OEM balljoint and bushing so no problems there

Speedfreak I doh know who u fix by
but if Jason repairs your car I sold a guy a set of blox front last year u can ask how it holding up

^^ Ttrinidad roads are really bad, you should go where i go, i drive very slow and yet still my camber kit got damaged. But i guess if you dive on the highway allot then you have no worries.
The skunk 2 is a good overall camber kit. Different driving habits and locations would result in different concussions. AGREED?

speedfreak44 : is all up to u on the combo or not

if the condition of the rear camber bushings are good just get the front

ingalook · Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 5:16 pm Post subject:

BUy the blox yes... it is unlikely that people going to bother to make fake blox products

I use blox stuff and the quality is solid

I agree with using the blox. I use the Toe arms and camber arms in the rear and is made by Blox and are adjustable and works fine for me. No sign of any problems as to breaking nor any major wear and tear as of yet.

The camber arms are on the car for 2-years now, and the toe arm are on for 5-months now and working well.... Very Happy

fwiw... i've stuck with oem or (real) aftermarket parts for my suspension setup.

except... the swaybar links. i thought a little thing like that didnt matter.

about a month ago the suspension stopped responding as good as it once did. i thought i damaged my shocks. or that my rates were set incorrectly. no adjustment worked.

turned out that the stab. link broke. penny wise ... pound foolish. now i have to spend more money in parts and worse.. labour.

save for months if u need to. but buy original. pls. Embarassed
