Default Ingalls Camber Kit VS. Skunk2

So, I'm investing in a good set of tires and my car is pretty low on GC's and Koni's so I'm looking into a front camber kit. I'm already running BLOX rear's and really wondering if anyone has opinions and comments...

My choices are between Ingalls:

And Skunk2:
http://www.skunk2.com/mm5/merchant.m...de=516-05-5660

Now I've heard some opinions of the Skunk2 balljoints slipping, cracking and just being complete garbage. I've also heard that with a really good alignment I shouldn't even worry about a front camber kit, but my previous set of tires got pretty bad camber and I had one of the best shops in Vancouver do my alignment once I canned my car.

All-in-all just wondering if I should go with Ingalls, or Skunk2, and why?

TIA

How low are you going? How big are your wheels, what size tires?

I was roughly 3.5"-4" drop on the Koni & GC's.
My previous setup was XXR 501's *15x8 +15* with 195/50R15's.

My fronts were cambered (sp?) -4 degrees when I got my alignment done and he reduced it to -3. *The most he could do*

I have the chance of trading something for the Ingalls kit straight up or wondering if I shouldn't bother and just sell my stuff for cash.

I have went thru both sets and with my personal opinion i would go with Skunk 2. I ran the Skunk 2 Pro's on my Drag CRX and with a little adjusting they get me way better traction with slicks than with just a normal alignment and OEM parts. And my car has Hasport 88A Race motor mounts so that ***** rattles everywhere. I ran that setup for about a year and the bolt never vibrated loose or anything. I periodicaly checked them every so often to make sure they were tight but i never had a problem with both setups. I would just choose the Skunks for better quality. Plus the Ignals kit busing's give after a while. You dont have to worry about that with the one that Skunk 2 supplies you with. Once again this is my sole opinion.
