Default My experience with my new Ingalls kit

Just wanted to post this up if any of you guys were interested.
Right now Im running Skunk2 coilovers, and i like to drive pretty low....My tires have been killing me so i decided to buy the Ingalls camber kit (3573) to save me some wear. I just bought new tires also, Yoko AVS ES 100, and I definately didnt want to wear those out.... I decided to swap out the Skunk springs for Ground Control springs while I had everything out (bc Skunk springs just SUCK). The install was pretty straight forward. First i unbolted the shock and took those out to replace the Skunk springs. With the strut out, all you have to is unbolt the 2 bolts that connect the control arm to the shock tower on top. With that out, you just swing the control arm towards you and unbolt the stock peice the camber kit is replacing. Their is a metal brace that you need to hammer off and place back onto the camber kit. That brace is to keep the ingalls kit straight when your bolting it on (which is impt. so when you adjust the kit, it adjust evenly) Be sure to take off the metal rings on the camber kit, bc you dont need them. Just use a screw driver to pry them off. Swing the camber kit back into its location and bolt up the top 2 screws. The next screws you bolt up are the ones on the side of the camber kit (14mm i belive) And last ones you bolt up are the bolts on the bottom. Since my camber was bad, i pulled the camber kit all the way out and bolted them up. Make sure both peices feel even when pulled out all the way. These kits actually correct up to around 2 degrees with out body modifications. Since my kit was pulled out all the way, the control arm was hitting the shock tower. All I did was take a hammer to where it marked the shock tower. Nothing major, just a few hard licks. (I did the hammering when the control arm was unbolted) With everything bolted up, i dropped the car, and the camber looked great. The only problem was now that the toe was WAYYY off, my tires were angles incorrectly. MAKE SURE YOU GO TO THE ALIGNMENT SHOP ASAP. I also shimmed out the rear to correct the rear camber also, and that turned out great. So now, after the alignment, and my car dropped on the tires, (maybe a tad bit lower) - and the GC springs - My camber and toe are damn near perfects and rides great!
