to be honest you really don't need a camber kit. I've been w/o for 4 yrs. Just got an allignment, had the toe fixed and was good to go.

if your drop is more than 1.5", you need a camber kit. you really only need the rear, the front is fine. however, with any drop, a camber kit is recommended. i myself have SPC and love it.

not true... think about this. When you get on you car, your tires straighten themselves out due to centrifical force correcting the camber. Only thing that screws up your tires is the toe, not the camber. Look at the big dawgs and how much camber they run, they don't even have a camber kit on their car.

if you want the best tire life and tire patch on the ground, then you need a camber-kit

and this is where toe comes into play.. bad toe = wearing tires on inner edge.

In what way is it better? I see no difference between Ingalls & SPC camber kits besides their brand name...

i installed a spc camber kit on a rsx at my shop on monday and yes there is a spot where u can bolt up the factory cables and lines.... i would say that the spc is a better way to go and im lookng into getting some for my ep because MAN they are ******* bulcky!!! the ingalls is much more smaller and thinner they the spc one.... the ingalls lookes like a factory peice with adjustments...

GO SPC its alittle more but i think alot better for ur buck!!
