Ball joint or achor style Ingalls camber kit?
I have a 94 Accord. I am lowered 1.8"- 2" on Eibach Sportlines.
I thought I had Ingalls anchor (P) style camber kit (bought used), but now the bushing in one have worn out, so that make me question if they were genuine Ingalls. I can either get a replacement bushings or now I am considering changing to the Ball joint style of camber kit.
Does anyone know if there are any pros and cons of either?
It seem like the ball joint would be easier to adjust and give a more accurate adjustment than the anchor style kits, and even seem like I could adjust myself easily and more accurately, whereas a alignment shop would have to adjust the anchor ones for me.
What do you guys think?

I went with Ingalls balljoints up front and Wicked Tuning for the rear.
Reason being is that the anchor bolt style wear out bushings pretty fast. Only downside to the balljoints is that on big bumps they hit the inner fender (no big deal) and trying to find a shop that will press out the OEM balljoints for cheap. Most wanted to charge me $300 or not do it at all b/c of fear of bending the control arm, but I found a shop that installed both for $82 :D

Considering which style to do myself right now actually as well.
The adjustable ball joint style seems to be a better way to go vs the bushing style.
19Accord97- How lowered are you that they hit on big bumps?

I put the ball joints on my Accord before it was sold.
Any correction more than ~1.5 degrees (positive) will cause the UCA to hit the fender well.

I heard of issues with hitting the inner fender when you use the bushing/ anchor style control arm kits as well due to how they space the control arm out when installed.

I had to beat the 'lip' on my fender so that the control arm didn't touch it when it moved up. I do not see how it is possible for any camber kit to work without having to beat out the lip if you need more correction. I think it is a problem with all camber kits and there is no way around it.
Sounds like the adjustable ball joints are less of a problem than the anchor/ bushing style for hitting, most adjustable, more durable, etc... from these replies.
Good topic and perfect timing for it since I am looking to buy camber kits for mine.
