How to choose Camber Kit???? How do you decide on what camber it to get? Should you stick with the better brand names like SPC and Ingalls, or is REVO and eibach and Progess ok too?? But what about getting front and rear? Are both needed? I found you can get different ones giving you different range of positive and negative camber, how do you choose? Should you get a camber kit when lowering the car or after, its already been done. Lots of ?? Sorry. What about getting a kit with new control arms? Like the SPC sells.
thanks
thanks

Get the SPC front and rear kit, that is what I have. when lowering the car, most of the time, both are needed. Get the kit put on when getting the alignment after the lowering is done. With my SPC kit, they got my alignment to perfect.

Rep Power: 303 IMO SPC is the best, but ingals i've been told is comparable. AS for eibach and and others they prolly use a repackaged kit made by spc or ingals

Rep Power: 0 REVO is what i just got. And dont freakin spend over a $100 for the ENTIRE kit. I looked around cuz i am not about to spend $300 for the rear camber kit. Give me a freakin break -its a threaded bar, and a couple of bolts. If a mechanic tries to quote you at that price just freakin punch him in the face. I got the entire kit new off ebay for $90 and it completely fixed my 2" offset.

Rep Power: 428 I dont know where you were looking, rear camber kits for our car are about $150. I have a SPC fron and rear camber kit and I paid $90 for the rear new, and $20 for the fron new.

Rep Power: 399 Ingalls is a piece of ****. It rusted up on me in about 3 weeks and is now siezed in place because of it. I'm gonna have to wirewheel it and possibly file the threads clean to move it.
I'm definately not recommending it, and I'm gonna have to buy something different for my self.
My advice... find something thats treated with an anti-rust coating, or find something not made out of steel.
