Default Camber kits

Ok I've needed a camber kit for a long time and I've finally decided to get one. So what does everyone recommend? I like the Skunk 2 upper control arms but they're kind of expensive. Give me your input.

Are camber kits hard to install?

I have a 93 CX hybrid which I road race and I definitely recommend the Skunk2 front camber kit. They're actually the cheapest upper control arm replacement kit on the market that I know of and they work extremely well (ie. offer a wide range of adjustability). For the rear, the Ingalls kit works fine and is inexpensive. However, the front Ingalls kit is a pain in the *** to adjust and doesn't offer a wide enough range of adjustment if you're serious about dialing in some negative camber for the race track or taking out a lot of camber if you've seriously slammed your ride and don't want to wear out your street tires.

ingalls camber kits are tricky, You have to know how much you lower your car before you order the kit. Get an alignment done and find out what you need. I made the mistake of ordering the 3 degree kit for my eg when i lowered it 2.5" and with the adjustments all the way neg my front camber was at -.1degrees . I originally wanted to get at least -2.0 degrees. I put the stock bushings back in and i dropped it to and even -1.5 on both sides figure that out. Get the control arms Less bullshit
