Camber Kit Questions

[spongerlbc]

Well I just had to replace my front tires due to camber from having my car lowered so now its time for a camber kit. Is there any difference between the different brands such as Ingalls, Sprint, Progress, and SPC. Which should I avoid? I was going to get the Sprints because there reasonably priced and have a decent amount of adjustability (my car is lowered 2-2.25"). The installation seems pretty straightforward, or am I wrong and should I let a shop do it? Can I adjust them myself with reasonable accuracy or do I have to get an alignment (my car drives straight now)?

You can adjust the camber yourself on a flat level garage floor yourself. You just nee to figure out a way to measur the wheels tilt from vertical (there's many ways). To set the tow find a road racer buddy that has a toe-in trammel bar (or make one) and you can se the toe yourself. All it does is measure the difference between the tires at the front of the tire and back of the tire.

90civicrider So the Progress camber kit, comes with front a rear camber's? complete set for 180.00?

Ingall's kits are supposed to be the best out there. There is a groupbuy on them for $130 for the whole front (4 kits). I'm going to buy some when I get more money.

Where do you sign up for that?

I just ordered them 5 minutes ago, they ship out same day and shipping is free. And the Ingalls kit is a lot less stuff than those others where it looks like you have to replace the whole upper control arm. These just replace those bolt things (sorry I have no idea what they are called).

I think I would rather change the whole camber i mine, there rusted pretty bad. ANd if i get the whole front a rear kit for 180.00, I think thats a good deal. How does the Degree stuff work, is that how much it can be adjusted?
