If you REALLY need to adjust your camber then yes, ingalls makes a good quality kit and it would be a good investment. The anchor bolts are a PITA to adjust though. I just installed the SPC adjustable balljoints and I like the way these adjust and install was easy.

I have a set-up on the rear of my 05 EP. It helped out tremendously and was a snap to install. I recommend Ingalls all the way

They are not bad to adjust, and even allow some caster adjustment because they move independently from each other, unlike the skunk 2 which moves the ball joint back and forth only.


they are not bad if you get a flex socket, and also depends what alignment machine.

At work we have the brand new hunter machine which allows you to lift the front wheels and adjust camber in real time, which helps because you can get it where you want and then you can tighten down the bolts with a flex and extension. then lower the car on the ground, redo your caster sweep and recheck everything before moving on to the rest of the adjustments.

One problem I have seen with that camber kit is that the steel sleeves are pressed in and even though the company claims they will not come out, I have seen them come out, they did on my own car and were rubbing on the control arm, I fixed this by welding the sleeve in place.

Another thing is to trim or grind down the tip of the control arm where the ball joint is to get some more clearance and make sure the control arm does not hit your upper wheel well, shock mounting panel thingy.

Product re-engineered and better than anything else available now.

I have that on my 00 gsr, and the only real problem I have with it, is that I can't actually use the full adjustment range. The UCA comes into contact with the body, before the adjusters are all the way in. I suppose I could grint down the UCA some, or bash that wheel well in, but I'm not really a big fan of either of those modifications.

If you're looking to decrease camber, then it should be fine, assuming you don't hit the UCA into the top of the wheel well. Look inside, and you'll see a ridge. Mine will just barely clear, adjusted for more camber, so adjusted for less could cause contact.

Entirely true. Unintentionally, I ended up with 0.2 and 0.4 caster with the kit on the car. I could dial back in the stock caster, but would have to lose some camber to do so, because of the previously mentioned UCA contact.
