SPC or Ingalls I had blox and didn't have good luck with the rubber bushings in the rear, they lasted about a year and a half before they went to ****. Ive always heard great things about SPC and Ingalls so I bought a set of SPC.

get an camber kit if you want to add more negative camber. otherwise, get an alignment and put your cash toward something else that would be beneficial to your car.

PatrickGSR94, is it me or does anybody get an alignment after they lower their car?

people think that camber kits solve their problems because they only got an alignment after they installed their kits. try getting an alignment BEFORE you purchase a camber kit.

haha I thought about getting one after I first lowered my car 6.5 years ago (before I knew all this stuff about the toe), but I decided to get it aligned and see how the tires wore. To my surprise, they wore evenly, and so did every set of tires thereafter (along with alignments once or even twice a year), so I never got any. And I'm sure glad I didn't.

whats funny was this actually came up this past week. One of my friends were saying how slamming my car like mine will eat away tires...i asked him was his tires wore out in one the side? hes like yes? i said did you get an alignment? hes like no? im like thers your problem...hes like that wouldnt solve it...i took him to the back of my car with my -3.5 camber and he looked at my tires which evenly...hes like hmmm i guess i should of gotten an alignment...he has been eating tires for 3 years....i have 2 friends that dont believe that if they lower their car even 1 inch they need one...after knowing this they finally conceded.
