I haven't heard of any issues of the camber adjustments suddenly coming loose. I figure it'd be like any other fastener where you torque it down and it won't break loose unless you wanted it to.

i use the ingalls front camber ball joint which has only 1 bolt holding it down to the arm, never had any problems with it except that it allows only -1.5deg of camber maximum...

I had it on my car for awhile. I made sure to anti seize the bolts. It held up fine for me, but for some odd reason, my buddy who bought them from me to put on his tsx had it come loose and shift inwards.

I bolded the answer to your question.

I used anti seize. I live in Colorado, and the weather around here can cause seize bolts. The bolts that aftermarket companies use are a standard base bolt. They will seize up and rust up. I've broken my fair share of macpherson strut camber adjustment bolts due to the weather. If you do get the Skunk2 camber kit, I highly suggest anti seizing the bolts. I suggest to torque them down to 10 ft lbs. The bolts themselves aren't a heavy duty bolt. If you overtighten them, they will break.

I've always had great customer service from Markus at Heel Toe.  On the other hand, I am not a fan of Skunk2 products.  I would not personally use their front camber kit (or any of their products) for a number of reasons.  I have the Ingalls front camber kit and it has served me well.  One note of caution is that you don't want to go too low with the Ingalls front camber kit.  If you do, and hit a big bump, you will smash the top of the camber kit in your shock towers and dent them.  There is also a front camber kit made by Hard Race that mimics the Spoon design.  If you're a baller, you can pick up the Spoon front camber kit.

I agree with Tim. I really didn't like the Skunk2 front camber kit. Yes, it is a lower profile if you plan to slam your car, but I have bottemed it out and put some dents on it. The bolts that Skunk2 uses are thin and small. It doesn't seem like its durable enough to withstand a 3000 lbs plus car. Hard Race is another option, but Hard Race and Megan are the same company. I've never been a fan of Megan Racing products. They all seize up and rust up.

Being a baller isn't cheap.  You gotta pony up for the good parts.  I've considered picking up the Spoon ones.  I have a set of Hard Race upper control arms sitting in my garage right now.  Not sure if I'm going to put them on though.

Just to let you know on the Spoons, you'll have to wait 3-6 months for them to come in. I waited 3 months just for my Endless to come in from Japan.
