Ingalls rear camber are available here locally. Specialty products hard to find. Specialty products looks stronger though.

Opinions on either kit or another kits wanted.

Thanks!

 

theres really nothing much to rear camber kits (thus, inexpensiveness). its basically a spacer. (heck you could even use washers)

 

works fine..

 

Baby - He is getting ready for the expo.... I think he wants to take you on

 

Do they make washers that have negative width?

 

I used 4 washers each side for my rear camber problem.

 

LOL

SS Works, works quite well

 

I do.

SRR Rear Camber and Toe

That's why I have camber kits. Needed -0.5 degrees more camber

 

Yep the camber is good for the track. But you want it normal for everyday driving unless you like new tires every few months. I dont think our cars are that bad with camber though. The worst rear camber i have seen are on the new celicas.

 

So how much camber is bad in your experience?

I have to say that CAMBER DOES NOT WEAR TIRES like TOE DOES.

Keep your toe in spec and camber under -2 degrees and tire wear isn't an issue.

AT least not for me the last 2 seasons. I daily Drive and trac/Auto-X my R.

 

SRR stuff looks very good!

 

SRR stuff looks beefy. I should be able to find that locally. Thanks for bringing it up Asahi.

 

With neuspeed race springs, would my camber be fine w/out a kit? I'm afraid i'm gonna get a kit and they will adjust camber to 0 degrees and i'm gonna hate driving. Is the front camber adjustable at all in stock form?

 

Why would you "hate driving"?

No, it is not.

 

Wouldn't I lose a lot of cornering ability at 0 degree's?

 

Any time camber is not optimal, you will have less ultimate grip.

 

Well, I guess i'll go ahead and get the kit. I think I would rather save myself from buying tires on a yearly or less basis...

 

When you take it to get aligned, give them your own specs, that way they won't set to 0 degrees.

 

I run -2,1 all around and cornering is still fine.. But hard braking before cornering sucks... With 0° there`s always better grip. And better braking control makes you faster.

 

I have the SPC camber kit on the rear of my car but will be switching to the new Ingalls upper arm in the front and rear arm when I get a chance to work on it.

I run -2 degrees in the front and -1.8 in the rear of the car. Braking from 130+ has never been an issue in the car on the track.

I have tried a little of everything with the alignment, (the car was aligned about 10 times last summer) I cannot recall the last setting on the front however it was slighlty toe-out just past spec. The rear toe is set at 0, I did try a little to-out in the rear which made for an exciting day at the track , Nothing like accelerating and braking while the rear-end is constantly dancing (a little loose) But in the corners the little ITR turned in and stuck like glue.

As far as tire wear, that is a choice the car owner will have to make. I only put 4-5k a year on my ITR so tire wear is not a concern (or problem)

I don't think you stated why you were going to put the camber kit on, If it is a street car install it and have the alignment shop put the car with-in spec. If it is a Autocross/track car try to hook-up with someone that has a pyrometer and can show you how to use it properly to make a correct assement of your needs.

Curious why would you be switching to the Ingalls rear camber kit when the SPC rear camber kit allows for more adjustment range. Is there anything wrong you found with the SPC kit?

 

MAtt, SPC kit is good too, what does the ingalls kit that is an advantage?

I run the same camber settings -2.0 F/-1.8R and no braking probs at all.

Good memory, We talked about this before.

I am using Hawk blues in the front and Porterfield R4 in the rear.

On the "rear toe-out day" I had a friend behind me watching the car accelerate from a corner and he could see the tail of the car twitching all the way down the straight. On that particular day it was bad alignment choice.
