i'm gettin a camber kit on my 97 2.2. i just lowered it with some eibach sportlines and tokico shocks, and it's about a 2" drop. two qwuestions though, 1) do i need a camber kit for the front and back? are they two different kits? because i have seen some people post that they only got one for the front. 2) wat is the best camber kit for the price. heard engalls is good and pretty cheap as well as eibach. approx price listings would be helpful too.

 

yea a chamber kits needed or at least recogmended for both as for the best one i really dont think it matters.. for a 2 inch drop u need more of a correction degree than some of the cheap ones offer not sure the exact someone im sure will post.... got any pics? dont know if you have noticed but ive been askin about the sportlines i want the tokico blues too so pics would be lovely... got rizims?

Coolman I got ingalls on my cl front and back and my cl is dropped over two inches. I would recomend the Ingalls kit but whatever kit you get make sure your kit corrects atleast 3.25 degrees. Ingalls makes a couple different kits that fit our car. The biggest difference are what the bushings are made of. Rubber bushings give you a stock feel. Polyurethane bushings gives you a sport feel but have to be lubricated with oil every now and then or the will start to squeak. Ingalls also makes a racing kit which I wouldn't recomend. With the racing kit you will hear every bit of road noise in your car but you get a racing feel.

Some people only get a kit in the front because the front tires have have the worst negative camber. The rear tires don't have that bad a camber. You might a well get a real camber kit for the rear. Ingalls makes on for like $40.

Make sure you get a kit soon or you will wear out your tires quick. I wasted my two front tires in two months and they were brand new.

 

i don't got pics yet cuz i don't have a digital camera, but yah, i plan to get rims soon, some 17's with low pro tires. i got the tokico non-adjustables with my springs. i'll probably go with the ingalls kit then. should i get the alignment fixed along with the camber kit, or is the kit fine? if so, any approximations on how much a typical place charges for an alignment fix?

 

Coolman you have to get an alignment after you get your camber kit installed. When you install the camber kit you try to adjust the camber as near to stock as possible just by guessing what looks right. When you get your car alignment your car is hooked up to a computer that takes exact measurements and therefore the proper adjustment can be made to your camber kit.
Getting an alignment is a mission in itself or atleast it was for me. No normal shop wants to do an alignment to a drop car. They come up with stupid excuses like the car won't make on the lift or the computer can't figure out the alignment because your car is to low. So you can forget about going to pep boys or kmart that charge less than $50 for an alignment. I finally found a shop that specialized in lowered car alignment but it sure wasn't cheap. I paid $120 for an alignment. All in all the cost of paying for the camber kit and alignment is way better than having to buy new tires every couple of months.

 

I don't know if they are the best out there but I got Ingalls and they work good...my CL is dropped 2+ inches......I don't know how much are they running for right now but I got my like 3 months ago and the best price I found was $150 including delivery.(front only)
