ingals or skunk2 camber kit for acura integra?
I have two options - ingals or skunk2 camber kit. Which one is a better investment or performance wise?
I've been reading a couple of threads about camber and people are saying that you don't need a camber kit. Is that right? Just correct the toe?

It will depend on what you want to correct, and how bad it is now.
Street only car: You don't need a camber kit. Unless you are very very low, as in tucking substancial tire. Then you might want a camber kit to help with rubbing, either on the inside or outside, depending on your wheel and tire combo. Only reason to get a kit if you aren't "slammed" is because you don't like the camber look, and then understand that you are doing it for cosmetic reasons. Rotate the tires regularly, get an alignment to set the toe, you'll be good to go. I'm running -4.75* negative rear camber on my Spitfire (see sig) without any noticeable "camber wear". (yeah, thats within spec)
Street and auto-x/hpde: You'll want a camber kit, but only to dial in the exact camber setting you want for performance purposes. I have an Ingalls kit on the front of my Integra to get more camber. My lowering only gave me 1.8* or so. I wanted closer to 2.5*, but ended up only being able to get 2.3. The tires seem to heat fairly even on the track, but I am abusing the outsides for auto-x. I only have 1.8 degrees rear camber, and could use a little bit more back there as well.
