camber kit problems...

I have a SPRINT EXTREME camber kitinstalled in my car...
problem is, that the rear right side broke, and the rear left side got bent...

Well I order a new piece for the rear right side..(looks like T bar) and I get that instaled and decided to leave it rear left the way it is..

I then decided to get the rear left side and have that installed...
upon inspection at the shop... the rear right was bent again...

they suggested I go for a diffrent maker that has a STRONGER rear camber kit...(the front is fine..)

anyone have any suggestions?

they said that the sprint exteme rear was a "t bar" design while the stock is a triangle type design...
and as a result the rear is weak and thats why it keeps on bending...

Hold up...Sprint Camber Kit effects ride quality? HOW?

Right now I have tokico blue/eibach sportline drop...I mean I know tokico's arent the best but my ride seems to be shitty lately lot of bumpin and bouncing...I've had the camber kit for about 5-6 months...I actually never had a problem with the rear... Its just the front that makes BAD CREEKING sound when going slow, acclerating, and going off a speed bump...What should I do? Anyway to fix the camber kit soundz? What should I buy...My friend jo0p-cl has the ingalls kit and has tons of problems with it...
I hear SPC is good...

the only problem withthe ingalls kit is that when your dropped alot (past 2") and then you adjust your camber, it straightens out your wheel and the control arm raises a little. When you hit a bump, the control arm sometimes hits the fenderwall and makes a loud noise.

All you have to do is trim the fender wall,or the top of the arm, and it takes care of it. I need to do this soon.

I just think sprint camber kits suck because when I had one on my car, it made my car ride like complete shit! he front got soo bouncy for some reason that I don't know. ?
Maybe it's rubber and the ingalls is urathane bushings??

Ok soo the best available kit for a 3 DEGREE adjustment is what?

So im guessing SPC?

how low is your car first of all?

if it's not past 2"ingalls will be perfect. even if it is, it's not hard to shave the top of the control arm or trim your fenderwall a little, then your set

What kind of ingalls do you have? I'm putting on my Tein's and going to drop around 2". I have the bolt and washer type cambers for the rear and I don't know if It's going to correct my camber enough to be within specs. Will it? Thanks.
