whats the best camber kit

Iam looking for camber kits. I have found there are 3 types for the front: Pivot Mount, Ball Joint, and Offset Busing.

Example found here:Ebay Link

What would be the best type, price not being a concern.

Thank You
Mike

I recommend the Skunk2 kit or Progress Group.

Maybe it was just a fluke, but I had a friend who had his car recently stolen, and then thankfully recovered (Jaron95 if you remember him on here) and he had Skunk2 front camber kit. Anyways, somewhere in the process of towing and impound, one side of his camber kit busted. The ball joint actually popped OUT of the arm it's attached to causing it to twist and flex when he'd turn his steering wheel. It could have been from the roughness his car went through by the tow company (they didn't put front wheels on his car to move it around since his rims were stolen) so that might have had something to do with it. The ball joint system kinda makes me weary though...

I thought Progress only allows for 1.75 degrees +/-?
Would this be ok for coilovers and how much will 1.75 allow you to lower it?

Not to low, I have Progresses camber and their spring which are suppose to drop the car two inches. Yet even with the camber kit on I still have 1 degree of camber eating up my tires.

I am lowered 3" on Dropzone coil overs. I have a Progress Auto camber kit that i believe only goes to 1.75 degrees. The guys at the shop said they managed to get my camber back to 1 degree on the front and 2 in the back. I have no problem with tire tread. It made my car higher though, but that's expected when your tires sit more perpindicular to the ground. My camber kit was like 370$ after parts and installation.... good luck

I second the Skunk2 motion. I have a Skunk 2 Camber kit and have yet to see a problem with it.

i've heard of ingalls busting out. i higly reccomend the anchor bolts/offset bushings. the offset pivot will give you more trouble with the alignament and especially the caster angle. i have the sprint extreme kit
