Default SPC camber kit better than Ingalls?

I cant decide between them both but ingalls seems to be a bit less inexpensive. Which one is better?

A camber kit is a camber kit...end of story...buy whatever fits your budget. If you feel that price=quality than opt for the more expensive SPc..but I'd rather get the Ingalls since its cheaper and a Camber kit is very basic, its almost like buying a different steering wheel, it does the job, but it may look different from the other brands but it steers the car just like the other one does...

SPC is one of the best on the market, much better constructed. ingalls are more prone to making noise.

SPC makes ingall's camber kits for them. Ingalls just gives them the specs, SPC makes 'em.

SPC also makes their own kits, engineered to their own specs. The spc kits offer much more adjustment than the ingalls kits, something like an extra -1/+2 deg of camber in the rear, the fronts are the same between the two though.

Anyone know of a good website to link me to to purchase either SPC or ingalls? Hondawerx has the ingalls for $133 but they dont accept credit cards. They only accept money orders. You have to email them to order and they dont even give you a order number. They just ask you to mail them the money order and I guess they are suppose to magically know who and what part its for. It seems kinda fishy and I dont trust them. Anyone have any good links?

There's a guy named "danscreations" that sells them on eBay. His auctions are
buy-it-now and go for $129, plus $9.95 shipping. He seems to have good feedback
on there - I just bought a kit directly from his site, which saved me $10.
I think it was http://spc.danscreations.com. I emailed him via eBay's
"contact a seller" option and he got back to me fairly quickly. He takes paypal
via his site. HTH...

thanks for the link. I just ordered from them and hopefully I will get them soon. I checked out his ebay and although they were all positives, he only has 17 feedbacks. Hopefully it will be okay. Once again, thanks!

I just got another email him - he lives pretty close to where I live. He sounds like
a cool guy - I'll probably end up meeting him sometime when I get back from this
extended business trip I'm on. Anyway, I think we're pretty safe (and we got a
heck of a price) - if not, I'll track him down.

I just ordered them yesterday. For my '03 Civic Si (I have a set of used Progress
springs on the way). Unfortunately, I probably won't get to install everything until
December.

Hahaha...nah, I probably won't get back home for more than 2-3 days until then.
You'll have to let me know how your install goes (and take some pics!).

i hear that the spc is "beefier" too. i have decided to get these but have heard that they offer two options in bushings; rubber and poly. if this is true which would be the best route to go and why?

most sites dont give you the choice between the bushings but the polyurethane would be better. Only problem is that they squeak a lot and you gotta lube it all the time. The rubber one is good also but more of for street use.
