ive got the ingalls kit on all 4 corners, i have never had any problems with mine but....ive heard of people's ingalls kits pushing the uca out too far and it hitting the pinch weld on the inner fender and other similiar misc. stuff since the ingalls kits is just joints that adjust, i think the skunk is a whole uca. I would probably say buy the skunk for up front, and shim the rear instead of buying a kit.

Do a search and you will find tons of posts on camber kit comparisons. I personally run the Skunk2 front kit. I went with it because thay included a new ball-joint already pressed in. With the Ingalls front kit you have to press out your old ball-joints and repress them in the control arms. There is a little extra cost and extra down time if you don't own a press. The Ingalls rear kits are nice.

depends on the year, 92-95 civics the ingalls isnt an upper control arm, its only the pivot points where it mounts to the tower. no ball joint stuff to deal with

Good Point, but I was assuming by his username that it was an EK.

ive heard bad stories about both the ingalls and skunk2 kitts.
the ingalls will break after a couple years and the 1st gen skunk2's bushings/ball joints will crack or come out.
but then ingalls has been around for so long and theyve already built up there name so strong. also the 2nd gen skunks kit are suppose to be better than the 1st and proffessional track racers use them. now the ingalls also comes complete with the ball joints like the skunks.
so, im still deciding which one to get since both of them had defects but supposedly are better now.
ingalls or skunks???
