I've got them also. If you're dropped too low the arm will scrape/hit the inner upper fenderwell as its larger than the factory unit.

Yup, but there's really no reason to run that low on the street. Besides, you're sacrificing suspension travel and had better be using some pretty stiff springs to keep from riding the bumpstops.

Anyways, ya, I'm running the Skunk2 upper arms. They're good but I've seen documentation of them slipping under heavy track use. There is also a tendency for the balljoint, at least in the earlier models, to fail. This isn't too big an issue anymore since Skunk2 has finally begun offering balljoint replacements (used to be hell to get a hold of one). With that said, I've been running the camber kit for about two years (maybe a little less) and have quite a few autocrosses on them. So far there isn't even a bit of slippage and the balljoints are still in great shape.
