Default which camber kit is better for an ek

i have the choice of the ingalls or the skunk2 . they have the same angle adjustment. i can get the skunk2 for $10 less. is it worth getting the ingalls or should i get the skunk2. is there any diff other than the color. i have a 99 hatch with some bad cambers and need soon. please give opinions or previous knowledge....

I dont know about the skunk but the ingals with poly bushings works really well, I have had mine in for about 1 year, no wear, no gripes or squeaks but I dont know anybody with the Skunky stuff!

Go buy a sprint camber kit. There very nice and they have adjustment for camber and caster so you get another set of adjustments that the skunk2 and ingalls dont have. They are also made very well.

do NOT use the supplied castle nuts with the ingals kit! reuse your stock ones.

I run the skunks and love them. I would like to see a pic of the sprints to see how they adjust caster.

My friend has the Ingalls upper control arms (similar to the Skunk2 arms) and the balljoint stud on the driver side BROKE while he was driving on the highway, had to get the car towed the remaining 90 miles to school.

I would stay away from the Ingalls 96-00 kit.

I agree about not using the castle nuts supplied with the Ingalls kit. When I tried to put them on, they stripped! Completely.. no thread whatsoever left on them.

I've had no complaints about going with a Ingalls kit though if I had known that they had camber kits that fixed caster too, I would have bought those.. but I didn't know I'd have a caster problem.. :\
