I just got my car back from the alignment shop! I put on a Ingail(I don't even remember the name) adjustable camber kit. The car handles so great now, I'm afraid to stick on the R compound tires for the autocross. I turned so fast today I torn my retina, my body can't handle the G-forces! Well that's a little bit exagerated but I do recomend a camber kit and a tune up at an alignment shop that deals with race cars and not just minivans, they'll understand your needs. The man at the shop was impressed and said my car would make a great slot car!

 

Pretty sweet man. I am trying to find a place around here that will do a complete alignment with a camber kit and what not. Just can't find anyone to do it though. Glad you enjoy it!

 

Sweet, I installed the Ingalls rear kit in the back of my vehicle as well. I too, notice a significant difference in handling improvements. Im going to install the Skunk2 front camber kit in a few more weeks.

 

ryan ..i got my ingalls camber from nopi for $175 and had goodyear guy on johnsonferry (name donald ) installed it w/ alignment for $135...

i saw how he took the oem camber out..its easy to do now..damn wish i saved some$$$$

 

If I bumped a curb...got my alignment done by Acura and my front left tire is still wearing unevenly and pulling slightly to the left. What would this mean? And would a camber kit such as the one you are talking about fix it?

It is very easy to install, I went fronts only, paid 130 with shipping. One of the best mods for the money. The 1.8t VW fully modded beat me on the straight away but I have yet to meet one that can keep up in the corners, even my friends with suspensions on their VW's can't believe my car when they drive it.

 

What are your settings? Did you have the alignment done with you in the car?

 

I guess the settings are stock...whatever the dealer put it at. I wasn't in the car.

 

LOL. Awesome review.

 

What are your settings?

CB

 

i didn't ask the settings, the kit I have goes from 1.25 degrees to 3 degrees and the guy said they had to move it a lot. Plus with my ground controls and shocks it needed realigned!

 

They didn't give you a printout of your settings? I went to a shop that does race alignments for the spec prod camber kit. They used hand alignment tools and dialed in the settings to -1.5 degrees front and back.

 

I heard the Ingalls camber kit you can only align so much before it starts hitting the frame (for the slammed cars). I use to have the problem on my Accord. I had a 3 degree adjustment but NEVER went that far, because of the frame. Anyone got Skunk2 front camber kits? I heard you can adjust those all the way....tru?

 

I have the Skunk2 kit. I think they can go +/- 3 degree but no more than that. Front -3 degree is pretty sufficient for a track-only car, but too much for a street car IMO.
