I'm about to re-do my alignment and needed brand suggestions please
I'm not too happy with Ingalls... Does anyone have any experience with the Eibach Pro Alignment kit??? I use the pro-kit for springs... but didn't know how it compared to Ingalls or SPC or whateva... I was using Ingalls but had a problem with the rear SmartArm making a creaking noise... could never figger out why.. but when I swapped it with the OE part, the noise was gone... And what's weirder is that they were rubber bushings..

Rep Power: 0 nah.. had pros do the install... if I did it, then that'd be the reason...But I figure if you stick with the same maker (i.e. eibach pro kit w/ pro alignment) things will work better..

Ingalls, SPC, and most others are all pretty much the same, maybe it was the way you installed them.

Ingalls is CRAP quality. SPC is pretty good. And I haven't heard much if anything about Eibach camber kit(s). When I get the EP3 I'm gettin' the SPC camber kit, NOT the ingalls. Pieces just fall off of the ingalls...i.e. the brake line brackets which are now replaced by zip-ties.
Not cool IMO.

I bought and SPC rear kit since it was thicker then the Ingalls, more heavy duty looking. I also read somewhere that the Eibach kit is basically the same thing as SPC, not sure though. They look exactly the same if I recall correctly.

Rep Power: 0 well, i have the ingalls... and it used to creak. What I did was loosen the bolts and preload the suspension, and then torque the bolts down. So, I suggest you put the rear on stands, take a jack and lift the whole assembly... and do want I said earlier. It worked for me.

The Eibach kit is in fact SPC.. as I have just discovered. I hope the rear camber arms don't creak like the ingalls..

Not cool IMO. I run Ingalls on my rear, and it's just fine. It doesn't creak, which BTW is a very common scenario with the poly bushings. They constantly have to be relubricated, which is even stated on the product description on their main web page. The line holders fit great. Ingalls made several corrections to these problems over the past few months. The product does it's job fine and I am very pleased with it.
