Default Who makes a good rear camber kit?

I've done some looking but would like to hear some pros and cons, as well as prices and sources.

FWIW, I have around -1.1 and -0.7 degrees (within spec) at left and right, respectively.

I have ITR springs and KYB AGX struts on a '01 G3 'teg.

I'd like to be able to get these figures closer to parity and a little less negative.

i really think the washer trick works the best.. maybe like $.50..... that is what most rear camber kits are anyway!

Problem w/ washers is that it would sure be damned hard to fine tune them, particularly when you'd have to keep paying the alignment guy to bolt and unbolt everything and stick washers in. It's also a judgement call on how thick they ought to be, as most of what I've read says that each washer is good for a degree; again, this depends on thickness.

I think I need a rear kit to get the adjustments right, considering where my numbers are already.

I've heard a little about Ingalls kits, but not all of it good.

I'm looking for durable and cheap; the best quality product for the least money. Nothing made of white metal, but neither do I want to pay $400 b/c it has "SPOON" emblazoned across it. It just has to allow a couple degrees of adjustment.

Thanks.

I would leave it where it is. You don't want straight up 0 camber, the car will handle poorly compared to if you leave it with some negative camber. If you're worried about tire wear, don't. Just get the toe set correctly and rotate the tires often and you'll be straight. My car is running -2.3 in front and -2 in back for camber and I've had no problems after 35K miles.

I have a few sets of SPC's, they cost a little more , but from the people that have ignalls and seen mine swapped out shortly after, they are alot sturdier, and easier to adjust , i have rear upper controll arms and lower anadized control arms which save qwuite a bit of weght and have the nice bling factor. ill post up pics when i get time. I just did a set on my EP this weekend .

It just bothers me that the numbers are half a degree apart from side to side.

My fronts are -1.1 and -1.2, which is good enough.

I'd like to dial back the negative rear camber to around -0.5 each side.

Thanks.

Bling definitely not a factor in any decision I'm making.

After using the SRR and the SPC rear camber and toe kits from both companies, I wouldnt even go the Washer way anymore. the adjustable ones from SRR and SPC are way better and easier to adjust.
