got new toys today... (there is tech in here)
thansk to ht member redbaron I got some new toys today! ingalls camber kit #3572. It came in when he said it would and in perfect condition. Anyways here is some pictures below im putting it on tonite so just to make it tech related ill put up how it went later tonite. Oh yea.. ive never seen a camber kit of this design in person before.. but i never realized how big each unit was.. they make them look so small in pictures. but for those of you like me who have never seen them before the pic is taken next to a standard keyboard to give you more of an idea of the size of them. because i know i was under the impression they were smaller. anyways enough of me soundin stupid.. heres the pics
this picture has not been shrunk at all so this should be close to its real size.

its not really the fact of tire wear.. thats one.. it was wearing a little not much but a little in the front insides of the tires.. i was only off by 1.5 degree.. but its not really the wear.. its the handling. it just simply handles better with the camber where its suppose to be. and there was a difference with it. ill take pics of the install tomorrow.. its dark now.. but the install was EASY... all together 4 bolts and 4 nuts.. a 15mm a 17mm and a 19mm... the 19mm was only used for the ingalls shocktower nuts because they are bigger than factory. installing it and adjusting it only took me about an hour. and that was with installing it.. adjusting then driving aroudn the block to let the suspension settle... then looking and if it needed further adjusting then id adjust it then drive around the block again.. i only had to adjust it 2 times though i got the passenger side right the first time.. well like i said ill get pics of the install tomorrow.

Re: got new toys today... (95DelSolSI)
ok.. now for some more tech on the ingalls camber kit. OK.. i know some people have question about the road noise with the poly bushings that are in some of the ingalls kits (because i know i did).. depending on what you order. I got a chance to drive around tonite.. around town and on the highway at about 75mph (the speedlimit was 70mph before the "thats dangerous" people chime in) as far as driving around town at like 25..35..45.. its not really a noticable difference compared to stock. but when you are up in the higher speeds around 55-60ish and up on the highway there was a noticable difference and it gets louder as you go faster. Its nothing that turning up the radio a little more cant drown out.. but its there and if i turned off the radio its almost like if time slowed a little you could hear everytime a piece of tread on your tire hit the pavement.. its was kinda cool though knowing that you cannot only see the road but i could feel and hear it too if that makes any sense. but like i said its not an unbearable sound.. just turn up your radio a little and you cant even hear it.. the only thing that i dont like is the places in the road where they have fixed cracks with tar.. its like every single one is like a clunk.. and it sucks where there is like a 1/2 mile stretch of nothin but tar fixed cracks. but anyways thats all the tech for now. I said I would have pics up of the install tomorrow in the light and i will. if anyone has any question about the install or road noise with the poly bushings feel free to PM me and ask..
