Default Slammed Lude Camber Kit - Ball joint or Anchor style Ingalls?

I am looking for a camber kit for 97 Prelude SH. Should I get the anchor style or the ball joint style?

I bought the Prelude slammed, and I am not sure what type of springs are on there, but it is pretty low. My exhaust resonator scrapes over speed bumps. I have had terrible tire wear problems, even though I get the car aligned all the time.

Would the Ingalls ball joint style of camber kit cause travel space issues? It seem like the ball joint might be better build quality and easier to adjust, and I might even be able to adjust it myself.

What do you guys think?

I think you should probably invest in a quality adjustable suspension and put it at a reasonable height. But I don't know much....

Get a set of ground controls and raise the car to a reasonable height. then align it and zero out the toe and don't worry about the camber. Your tires won't instantly die because you've got -2.5 degrees of static camber and 0 toe.

if you are too low, the ball joints can cause suspension travel problems.

If you need a Camber kit, your car is too low or something else is wrong/broken.
^^That will be my response to everyone from now on^^
