I'm partial to the skunk2 kit which replaces the front upper control arms and has an adjustable mount for the ball joint.

Huh, was considering same mod for suspension.. though am not sure, Koni or AGX.. price difference is a killer man! Also for camber, I used a Pro Drive camber kit on my G2 and it SQUEEEEEEEKKKSKSSS like hell! its driving me nuts.. but it was cheap... 54 USD!!!
So for my G3, I want to use something that is still cheap but doesn't squeek, any suggestions?

i have a funny feeling the skunk2 will be a lot more than i wanna spend... i saw an ingalls front and rear pretty cheap on ebay, i might go for that but ill also look into the spc kit. thanks!

SPC is another worthwhile option. It's replacement ball joints that adjust for camber, instead of a whole replacement control arm. From what I've seen it's not really any cheaper to go SPC instead of skunk2. The main difference in the two is how they adjust. The skunk2 kit moves the entire ball joint in relation to the control arm. The SPC kit is the ball joint itself so it changes the relationship between its top and bottom connections.

sounds to me that Skunk two is a more durable solution. Ball joints tend to be sensitive (just hammered mine to death while trying to change lower control arm bushings)

The Skunk2 front camber seems to be pretty good to me so far. Replaces uca rather than adding on a ball joint. Bad thing is, it costs about $200 but its worth the money on the longrun. For the back, I use the ingalls kit instead of the washer trick. It actually replaces the arm and can be adjusted from -.75 to +.75.
