Is a F/R camber kit necessary since you only have pro kits?

i think you're refering to the washer method, in which you just have to buy metal washers and insert them somewhere in the rear suspension.......someone on this board has to have a diagram or instructions

Your camber shouldn't be out of whack with the Prokit. What kinda struts do you have?

Why do you need a camber kit? Unless you have Koni Yellow shocks set on the lower perch I don't see how your camber can be out of whack.

ingalls.com takes you to "Northrop Grumman Ship Systems Ingalls Operations." Which to say the least, has nothing to do with camber kits. Ingalls Engineering wheel alignment products can be found at ingallseng.com.

Lowering a car /ALWAYS/ affects camber. People that say "a X.X inch drop does not need a camber kit" are just being ignorant. It all comes down to how much extra wear you want on your tires.

You replace the two upper bolts on the compensator arm with longer ones, and put washers inbetween to space the top of the trailing arm out. Just remove the bolts and go to a hardware store (they are metric, so home depot probably will not have them)

Of course lowering a car affects camber. You can get away with a small amount of negative camber before tire wear becomes an issue, just be sure to rotate the tires frequently.

The ability to adjust camber is nice, but perhaps money can be more well spent somewhere else if he's not trying to race-prep his car.

nope, for the front you need new joints for the upper control arm to fix camber.
