OK Camber Kit that came with the car, the ball joint has seen its lifespan.
options.
1. ingalls or skunk2 or suggest a brand that has gd strong lasting ball joint that are replaceable
2. machine the camber plate to fit the 555 ball joints
3. oem camber kit since im on oem ctr springs and stock shocks so the height is only 10mm lower than a ek4. (issue with this is I'm also on 17" 205.45. tires)

i had omni power, it lasted a while
i went to tuner imports... when i had skunk2 and the ball joints went bad.... $495.00 for a ball joint...thought that was madness
but if was up to me, i would have machined the plates

how long did the skunk 2 last from new?
see upper ball joint went bad from dex and how low the car was. lowering put added and uneven pressure on the ball joints. i should not have that issue anymore since the car is almost stock height now but i still need something lasting.

thats why i dont like camber plates..
I'll say go with the 555 ball joints, and replace the 555 ball joint boots with some Energy Suspension Ball Joint Boots, the polyurethane is stiffer and ALLOT more durable than the normal rubber so it saves the ball joint and makes it last ALLOT longer....that's my tip

true but you can also use the skunk2 with energy suspension boot and that would last even longer.
seeing bout a stubborn sump pan leak and then ill focus on this
