Ingalls camber kit.

One one hand, they do not kill bump travel like an adjustable UCA or offset balljoint.

On the other hand, they make it nearly impossible to not screw up the caster on the car. If you do your own alignments, and can take a ton of time getting both mounts on each side adjusted to the exact same offset, then they're fine. Otherwise, have fun with the screwed up caster.

Those things are shitty. Pretty much later on down the road if those are installed, the bushings in it are gonna give out sooner or later. Plus, it gives more stress towards the lower control arm too. Don't ask me why but a mechanic told me that. So DON'T put those on. Get a better camber kit or suffer the consequences later.

It is the issue discussed here:
https://honda-tech.com/forums/suspension-brakes-54/no-you-do-not-need-camber-kits-2614449/

Taller than stock balljoints reduce the available suspension compression (bump) travel, which all sliding balljoint camber kits have.
