OEM, all day, every day, and twice on Sunday. I also suggest you buy a new set of OEM nuts. OEM are locknuts too.

I used the locking nuts with left-over THICK washers I had just sitting around. Reason I did this was because when installing the first OEM nut back onto the ball joint portion of the camber arm, the thing got stuck halfway on and I couldn't get it off or all of the way on. Once stuck, the ball joint itself just spun in the socket leaving me SOL. So I ended up having to Dremel the ball joint threaded stud off and had to purchase a replacement from Megan. It became a much more expensive mod that I would have figured because of that.
