Skunk2 pro front camber kit

those of you who have this kit (the one that goes +3 and -3) I have seen a couple reviews talking about pieces literally falling out of it while driving? Do you know if they have fixed this or is there something I can do to avoid this? Also I searched and could not find a how to diy for this install, I am going to be ordering the kit in the next week or so and would like to have an idea of what im doing plus any pointers you may have. I'll be doing it with endless tools and the car will be on a lift so that will make it easier im sure

If pieces are flying off while driving than it wasnt installed + tighten correctly. They have said they used it on the track course etc and ever had a problem. I've been on riding on these for a month now and the roads here suck. No problem yet

I had got it installed same day before I got an alignment at the shop. Install is simple,pretty much all you're doing is removing the stock control arm and replacing it with the skunk 2. Easier than modifying your stock control arm joints with the other kits

^the hella flush one's are modified I believe to be able to create even more camber than what the kit offers. I have the regular skunk 2 Upper arms (not hellaflush) and my Allignment guy has no problems adjusting them. He actually commented that it is a very nice kit! I only use it to correct excessive neg camber. Just be sure to torque the bolts to spec.

What's the lowest degree of this kit? It says it on the website but I guess when you lower your car, the results are different.

Not sure what your asking. The hellaflush I think has an additional -2 degrees of camber adjustment, over and above the normal skunk 2 kit (+/-3 deg). ? Please don't quote me on this, just what I remember off the top of my head from when I was doing research. It says on HeelToeAuto that the hellaflush is -3 +.
