Camber kit
Alright, let me say first that I did a search and learned a little, but I just want to know from you guys... which camber kit? All I really see are Ingalls, Progress, and Skunk2 (just front). I'm getting some ugly tire wear, and I'd like to be able to adjust for street/track changes. Thanks.
Well everytime you adjust your heights your suppost to get an alignment cause you screw the toe up. But as for Camber kits just make sure its easy to adjust cause the alignment shops will charge more if not. I have ignalls on mine and all you have to do is loosen the bolt to the bottom of it and slide the control arm in and out. then tighten when the camber is correct.
I'm pretty sure specialty products is a good brand to. it has the adjuster pin on the side so you just rotate it to adjust camber.
Usually uneven tire wear on say the inside is due more to the toe of your car. Bad camber will give you bad grip to the ground as well. So set your height and get an alignment. Trust me it was a $400 expense I should not have had soo soon because I didnt get the alignment after adjusting my height over and over. Usually if you work out a deal with the alignment shop they will give you a 6 month warranty or something so you can come back in whenever you think your alignment is off.

Yeah, from what I understand, Ingalls makes a great kit. I have unlimited access to a lift and a brand new Hunter alignment machine, so I'm lucky. My front and rear toe were fine, but camber was about -2.5 in front and about -1.8 in the rear. Great for autocrossing, but not for tire wear. The insides of all four are getting bad. Tires are too expensive to run for only 12k miles (Yoko Paradas).
Don't forget to GRIND the upper control arm before you put the ingalls camber kit in.
Here's my setup. Skunk2 front replacement arms - $225 Washers and bolts from Home Depot - $1.29 (rear)

Why do you need to gring the upper control arm?
