Default Ingalls Rear camber kit - 5th Gen accord

What do you guys think? Install or no install? I bought the front Ingalls a couple months ago to replace my SPC camber kit. My friend had the rear Ingalls as well..so i just decided to buy the front/rear for $150 BRAND NEW.

Anyways, I finally decided to install the front kit yesterday and I am now debating if i should install the rears? Opinions PLEASE? My alignment got messedup again So im trying to see if I should install the rears or sell it...and then get an alignment in a week or so. Thanks for any comments!

Here is one pic of my car to show you how low it is..3inches low. Handles fine. No camber wears...basically none...

The install was easy. Unbolt your upper control arm, then the top 2 bolts (17 or 19mm) from your stock camber kits. Swap them out and you're ready to roll. AND get an alignment afterwards. I'm waiting to see if I should install the rear Ingalls first.

I just remembered one guy in this forum had the rears installed and it broke? I forgot his SN...he has another gold 5th gen.

either raises your car aor pound out the inner fender.
its a prorblem that occurs in all accords when they are that low.

or you adajust for less camber correction as well....but even at only 1.5 degree correction and being 2.5 inches down my car whacks the inner fender at times....

I'm straight with my front camber kit, I banged out the inner fender last year to make room for my old camber kit (SPC kit). So with the install of the Ingalls, i had room, BUT i couldnt max it out to 3inches correction, so its about 1.75-2 degrees of correction i believe.

Oh yeah...and my car never hits the top fenders....The car is lowered 3inches and it rides fine on my AGX shocks

**time to get off the PC, Hurricane hittin hard**
