Default Camber kits

Which ones are the best camber kits out there for the front and back?
I heard Skunk2 was good.

Well i have Ingalls kits all the way around on my 99 SI and i just was doing an alignment on my car this past week and the rear kit had actually rusted inside of one of the ends and came apart...that explains the weird noise coming from the rear when the wheel rebounded from a bump. The only thing stopping the threaded part from going inside the bushing part was the jam nut. Overall i guess ingalls makes a good kit but i am just a little angry with them right now and i hope it was simply the awful Ohio weather that caused the rusting and stripping of the threads and not the quality of the part. I would say Skunk2 on the front or Ingalls are the best choices.

Depends on what year and model car you have. If it was a 96-00 I would say to go with the SPC or Specialty Products kits Front and Rear. I have them in my 00 Si. The techs at my work were amazed at how well made and how easily adjustable they are. Definitely worth the money.
If its a 92-95 the only real option for fronts are unfortunately the Sjunk2 upper control arms. I have these and the ball joints go bad, the adjustments aren't as easy to make and they just aren't as well made. Definitely MIT. Get the SPC or SRR rear camber kits. Sjunk (aka Group-A autosports) used to sell the rears made by Z-Speed but no longer. The fronts are just rebadged as Sjunk2 instead of Z-Speed.

Here you go. From the SPC website.... http://www.specprod.com/PROD_DIR/PROD_PASSCAR.html
and.....
http://www.modacar.com/product...DACAK/
The products are both SPC but the ones on the Modacar website are the tubular arms instead of the OE looking ones. Get the part number (I think its 62010 but double check) and call them to get the price for the ones I posted in the first link. They are wonderful. Good luck.

Umm Ingalls= . You dont have to worry about these things with the better made kits. SPC is the way to go. It may cost more, but you get what you pay for.

I paid $150 for dropzone front and back.. Gien dropzones reputation I wouldn't have bought them if it wsn't so dang cheap. So far I've been pretty pleased. No complaints yet. I thought they were squeaking when I first installed, but it turns out it was my wheel spacers.

Ill vouch for SPC also I have their camber correction all the way arround and I went with the replacement upper arms in front instead of just the ball joint. They also have some blinging lca's for the rear if youre into that.

I have the skunk2 and had the old ball joint. It broke and they replaced the w/ better one but it sucked having to do the work to replace. I also bought the ingalls rear and one side was bent and couldn't thread far enough. I had to send it back to be replaced. If I could do it all over I would have bought the SPC kit for front and back. The SPC can also correct castor which I needed since I did a brake swap. It barely effect my steering but the SPC cost the same as either ingalls or skunk2 on http://www.groupbuycenter.com
