camber kits

Hi, i don't really know much about suspension but after reading the threads i've pretty much decided to lower my car using neuspeed race springs and koni yellow shocks. From what i've read, a camber kit will also be required. However i can't find a UK online shop that sells camber kits, so i've decided to order from a US site www.iapdirect.com .Are these the correct parts to get?
- Ingalls rear camber adjuster arms,
- Ingalls front upper control arm replacements with balljoints
Also are Ingalls a good brand for camber kits? and is the site i'm going to purchase the parts from reputable? Thanx guys for the help

Re: camber kits

Those seem like the right parts, what make/model car is it for?
Ingalls make nice stuff - i think
I don't know anything about www.iapdirect.com

oh sorry, forgot to mention it was for a 96-98 honda civic hatchback. The site has an ebay store which has got 99.8% feedback so they should be reliable. Thanx for the help!

Revs, you will definetely need a camber kit with the neuspeed race due to the large drop they give. I've got them on my 2000 ex coupe and need tires every 12,000 miles or so. (i have 205/40/17s by the way) I just ordered the ingalls kit and the koni yellows from importhorizon.com here in the states. Both orders where shipped quickly and arrived w/ no problems. Their pricing seems competitive as well.

I found this site today, nolimitmotorsport.com but haven't heard anything about them before. They've got the ingalls kits

International customers have to order by phone and pay via wire transfer or prepaid money order. their site has the policy.

maybe this will help . . . .

thanx bc200ex, but i don't want to make a long distance call. It seems like camber kits r so hard to get hold of in europe and the UK. It makes me wonder, are there all these slammed or lowered cars in the UK and europe driving around with bad camber and premature tire wear?

Re: camber kits

I can't beleive you can't find a place in the UK that has camber kits.
Usually you can tell just by looking at the tire if a "slammed" car has a camber kit. The inner tire edge will have more wear, also the top of the tire is tilted in towards the body(negative camber) -- if you were to look at the car from behind the tires would sit like this : / \

You mean "...if a "slammed" car doesn't have a camber kit." Camber kits correct negative camber, not worsen it (although you can, purposely). Negative camber on certain cars can look seriously dope.

NO I mean if a slammed car has one or doesn't have. Camber kits are for camber adjustment - both positive correction for lowering or negative set-up for racing.
