Default camber kit vs control arms

Is their a difference between camber kits and control arms? If so is one better to use than the other?

i've always used progress camber kits, they are not control arms, i've never used the control arms, but i've always liked something that stays in adjustment.

Last time I checked I think Camber Kits and LCA's are different.

LOL do you know what an LCA is?
(lower control arm) people dont buy LCA camber kits, they buy UCA camber kits and pivot camber kits.

btw i read the original post wrong, i thought he was asking the difference between the two camber kits.

Right! For front suspension, there are 3 different camber correction kits. One is the adjustable upper control arm kits (ie: skunk2). Second is the set pivot kits (ie: ingalls). Third are the shorter control arms (ie: Suspension Techniques).

It's up to your preference on which is better. How often do you change the setup of your wheels or the ride height of your car? Go from that.

Yep, I wouldn't have posted it if I didn't. Anyways why don't you just get a Alignment instead of an Camber Kit. It's been proven and tested that Alignment is cheaper and works the same

Isn't an alignment for toe-in/toe-out? You would still wear more on the insides of the tires.
