can someone post some pictures for me...because i think i was sent the wrong product...THANKS GUYS

 

Just use washers... get Ingalls for the front

 

ingalls rear kit is just washers anyways I believe. It's a waste of money to buy a "rear" camber kit, when you can use washers.

 

i THINK this is it. Please correct me if i am wrong.

 

wierd.. I can't tell what that is.

My g/f's progress kit just had washers for the rear.

 

That looks exaclty like the Specialty Products rear camber kit I have on my hatch. The ingalls is a smaller diameter and the adjustment points/nuts are toward the center of the unit- making it very hard to adjust when on the alignment rack from under the car.

 

Actually this is not the case. You can only use so many washers which will only correct a certain amount of negative camber. I dont think you can correct more than 1 degree of camber with just washers. The Ingalls kit adjusts for up to +3 degrees of camber, more than enough for anything short of your car sitting on the ground. If you have a mild drop (~1 inch) washers will be fine though. Anything more (say 2 inches) , you can get withing spec probably but will still wear your tires out faster.

And the picture that MJ23FE is what the Ingalls kit looks like.

Forget the 'washer trick' and get a rear camber kit. They don't cost that much.

1) You are NEVER going to get exactly the right adjustment using combinations of different size/thickness washers. You will get in the ballpark, but that's it. Increased tire replacement costs will eat you alive.

2) Unless you do the alignment yourself, 'they' are probably going to charge you $60/hr to fiddle around adding and removing washers. Plus, 'they' will need to add/remove washers - check the alignment - then, take it all apart again, add/remove washers, check alignment again, et cetera. This will be costing you a dollar a minute every time they do it.

If the INITIAL cost is a problem (forgetting about the subsequent alignment/tire replacement costs) go to JC Whitney and get a Sprint Extreme rear camber kit. I don't know what model/year your car is, but they usually run about 70 bones each (you will need 2 kits per axle)...

Example for my 2000 CiViC:

It's like the old Mr. Goodwrench commerical; "You can pay me now, or you can pay me later," you know?

 

"And the picture that MJ23FE is what the Ingalls kit looks like. "

Wrong! I just looked at both side by side at Payn Tech. The Ingalls part looks more like this RSX peice...It's much less beefy...

Straight off Ingalls site for a 96-00 Civic:

Yep that's the one. Looks quite a bit different in design than the SPC piece.

That's what i got on my car

 

Poly or rubber bushings?

 

Poly...

Yep, that's what the Ingalls kit looks like. Just thought I would mention, if he decides to go the Ingalls route, he only needs 1-kit per axle. So, that would be 160 bones for the Ingalls compared to 140 for the Sprint Extreme.

 

I was just re-reading this thread and wanted to make another comment. Installing front/rear camber kits are a good idea even if you DON'T drop your ride. There is no chamber adjustment on the stock suspension; as in '0' camber adjustment. If you notice your tires wearing funny from spring 'sag', for instance, there isn't a damn thing you can do about it except replace your tires more often. So, in general, everybody can benefit from adding these kits to their rides, no matter what has (or has not) been done to their suspensions.

The kits mentioned here are for extreme corrections. However, these ssupension companies also make 'normal' kits that provide smaller amounts of correction for even less money.

Just thought I'd throw that in the mix...

 

PM tornactive.com on this site. He can beat that price by alot. I am ordering my front and rear kits from him monday.

 

I recommend the Specialty Products rear camber kit. Not as susceptible to rust or frozen (as in immovable, not cold) threads and nuts as the Ingalls. My Ingalls rear did that, and the alignment shop guy said it's kinda common on Ingalls.

 

Sent you PM

 

does anyone else on this board experience squeaking or creeking in the rear. Due to the camber kit?

 

Hello?!?!? Did you red my post; about 5 messages up? The quote about poly bushings?

 

Ingalls rear kit with poly bushings, the dumbasses didn't lube the bushings!!!!

Creaking????? Try SCREAMING from the rear!

 

I paid $90 for the SPC kit here locally. Yes, that's for the pair.

i would like to add to this very old thread.

I just installed my rear skunk2 camber kit today on my 2000 integra gsr.
i forgot to lube the bushings and sleeve and is squeaking like crazy, make sure everyone lubes there bushings up before installing them to avoid this problem.
im going to lube them up tomorrow and get it re aligned again.Hope fully this cures the problem.
