Default What camber kit is best and why?

I've looking to buy a camber kit for my '92 Vx with ITR suspension but can't decide on which set up to go with. Would you guys please tell me what camber kit(s) you think is/are best for both front and rear and why?

TIA

imo, ingalls engineering camber kits are the best because of the quality and with about (i believe) 1.25-1.5 degree of negative camber, they don't have a problem clearing your inner fender on the fronts. as for the rears go, you can use a longer bolt with a few washers to correct the camber. but, you will need the equipment to measure the rear camber when adjusting the rears.

i haven't seen any issues with any of the honda/acura cars.. Ignalls is by far the most widely used kit, and for like $10 less, there's a company called specialty products "www.specprod.com" that i got off of gbc.. They're exactly the same things and i haven't heard anything negative of either..

These were the prices *shipped* so u should be paying about this whichever way u go..

FRONTS - $110 SpecProd #84945 adjustment up to 1.5 degrees
FRONTS - $120 SpecProd #84955 adjustment 1.75-3.25 deg
REARS - $105 SpecProd #67030 adjustment up to 5.0 deg

I will vouch for Ingalls also. I had a front/rear kit on my 98 civic....it worked great. No problems at all. The alignment shop loved em too...saying they were really easy to adjust.

depends on the need. Are you road racing or just street/strip. Ingalls won't cut it for road race. At least for eg/dc chassis. If it's for street/strip-get the ingalls kit. If for road race, you may need more camber depending on tire temps across the tread. Such is my case. I went w/ the Skunk2 front upper control arms(adj. ball joint) and the Specialty Products rear upper control arm($90 for the pair). I'd also look into K-Mac.
Hope this helps.

Ingalls has two types of camber kits for the EG/DC chassis.. One provides a degree range for like a stock to 2" drop and one for more than that..

On Greg's EG (same as DC2), when he raised his car up for road racing, he realized that the camber adjustment was at its limits in the front, so there was more positive camber than he wanted, so we just took the kit off and went stock with close to the negative camber we wanted anyway.. This is just a warning that if u like to raise and lower your car, it's going to be difficult with these camber kits, since whichever u buy, u will have to stick with that height (or close to it)..

However, if u have no idea what i just said, because u have a 1" drop and that's the way it's always gonna be, then by all means get a kit.. The above is only applicable if u change your ride height frequently..
