Are they hard to install. Saw one for sale $75.

 

i just installed my freinds camber kit in to my teg last week, went to alignment and it slipped like the next week. (forgot wut who it was made by) My freind who installed it used lock washers to make sure it wouldnt slip, but it ended up slipping. Then i hear the alignment shop didnt need the camber kit to fix my camber problem, they would bend this "spindle" near the upper control arm. So i took off the camber kit and they bent the "spindle" and my camber problem is no more. Handling feels good and i wish someone told me about this before i put in the kit. hope this helps

 

i wouldnt let anyone bend anything on my suspension. I doubt you have a ingalls. My ingalls required some filing to fit in my 13 year old A-arm, but since i got an alignment my tire wear is great. it hasnt slipped on me, well come to think of it, it has once because the guy at the alignment shop couldnt break it loose. so i fixed it myself came back for an alignment and told me my work was perfect. they didnt mess a thing on it, toe was in sec and camber was at -0.87

camber kits for slipping

bending suspension parts

Just get the toe set, don't bother with a camber kit, and do NOT have anything bent! If your camber is less than -2 you will be fine for sure with a good alignment and frequent tire rotation.

 

YES, ingalls camber kit is very good in fact. They are one of the top brands up there...anyway i put on my USED ingalls extreme camber kit for my 93 DA a few months ago. works great. no problems what so ever with the kit since. btw, i got it for 100 shipped.

i would recommend that u get one if youre not satisfied with your camber wear. however, when i did even out my negative camber, i lost conering performance. only drawback i had.

as for the install...uhhh...just make sure you know what youre doing. make sure u read over a guide manual or soemthing. it took me about 35 min for both sides. it might take u longer depending on if u get the right setting or not (mine came adjustable) if you have a big drop, then youll run into a problem with your control arms rubbing up agiasnt the chassis. as math labs says youll have to do some filing of soem sort.

and u know..get the usuall alignment..cuz your toe will most likely b off. mine was off by like a whole 2 inches

anyway, HTHs man. w/e u do, i hope it goes well.

 

You probably ended up with a cheap knock-off, they look pretty similar. My ingalls has been great with no slippage

 

Put an Ingalls rear kit on my DC5 last Thursday. Easy install only 3 bolts each side. I sent it for alignment the same day for the front and back, and everything is still good.

 

not really it depends which camber kit you get. if you get the ball joint one i wouldnt recommend that one because when my accord was lowered it made hella dents on the strut housing area. on one side it ripped through. but if you get the control arm ones like the skunk2 ones those are really good and i recomend those. those are the ones on my integ right now and handles like a dream

 

where can i find Skunk 2 camber kit for my 95 civic ex. i only need the front and found it for 160 but that seems expensive. please reply

 

yah they are a bit expensive but well worth the price but if not you can get upper control arm mounts and it will just do perfectly fine. i havent seen any skunk2 control arms for less than 200. if you found them for 160 i say u should get those.

 

I've had an Ingalls on my 97 GSR for over 4 years and a never a slip or any problems. If it slipped, they may have not retighten the bolts after aligning it.

I highly recommend this kit for an integra.

 

i have the ingalls camber kit too...it's the adjustment from where it connects the a arm to the body...WORKS GREAT but the only problem i have is they sqeek due to me being lazy and not oilin them before putting them on.

 

i heard the old skunk kits had problems with tearing the boot, they are now "new style" was this problem addressed?

Have you got the poly kit? You really should disassemble them and grease them properly.

 

SKUNK2 ! got them on my 94 teg and they are great, corrected -4 degrees... and the rears dont wear that bad anyway... just get the skunk2 fronts and youll be all good... and watch ebay for a good deal...

 

I got the Ignalls kit for my DC4, and when I took my car to the alignment shop the guy told me I should of spent the money on a Skunk2 or similar camber kit that replaces the upper control arm. I had a problem when I first installed the kit that my upper control arm got stuck in the fender wall. It worked itself out when I jacked up the car and lowered it back down. The guy at the shop said he could of fixed my camber without the kit, dunno what he was gonna do. I have been riding on the kit however for 3-4 months with no trouble, so I say go for it. My friend has an Ignalls kit on his DA9. Both of us only have front kits, my friend is slammed and I'm just lowered to get rid of most of the wheel gap. We both have washers to correct the rear camber. I think I need to get my car realigned however, it likes to run away from me on bumps, but it isn't that bad so I can stand it for awhile longer.

fixing camber with out a kit is getting your spindle arm thinga mah bob bent a few degress. theres a place in rosemead that does it for 35 per wheel.

 

Bending anything is a bad idea no matter how cheap

its only 1-4 degrees doesnt work out to be much. its an old racers trick. and plus you think your suspension doesn't bend anyways? your sway bar bends, your trailing arm bends, your frame bends.

That's right, suspension components bend. However, PERMANANT deformation beyond factory specs is anything but good for anything which will bear some load. The easiest way to see this is to get a paper clip, metal hangar, a slinky, or whatever you can mess with to actually cause some permanant deformation. Now, deform the thing however you see fit--bend the paper clip, twist the hangar, or stretch that slinky OUT--and then try working the object back and forth about its new equilibrium position, in the same range of motion that it would have undergone had you not bent it. If it breaks after a few cycles, don't be surprised.

 

hey just letting you guys know that my alignment still holds true and that nothing has broken on my car yet = ) its been over a year and sill driving over some shitty *** roads

 

I have Ingalls front and rear on my 92 GS-R. They work great, no slipping and I track my car

 

I would definately say go with the ingalls, or a Stempf kit, and not the adjustable ball joint type either, they have more of a tendency to slip. I do alignments everyday at work, and I'd definately say getting something bent is a BIG NO. From day one when going thru classes, they stress this for the simple reason mdpalmer explained. And if you bend it, it weakens it, and has more of a tendency to break. DO IT RIGHT OR DONT DO IT AT ALL.

 

doesn't the skunk2 arm take up more space in the fender so it hits?
therefore using the smaller stock arm and the ingalls kit would be better, cause the arm would fit up inside the fender better
