most trusted camber kit?

ok.......... i dont know if this has been talked about before but what is it? i have an ingalls camber kit.. it doesnt properly fit on the CL!!! it leaves a space between the control arm and the kit.. my control arm is able to move when i push on it..

i finally figured out what was causing the clonking noise, and its the non fitting camber kit. when i bought the camber it said it was made for 98 2.3. but its BS. they dont fit.

what camber kit does everyone have? do you know if it works properly? does it fit perfectly? does it make noise? It has to adjust to 3 degrees. thanks all.

what degree is your camber kit for? Sometimes the kits for more correction aren't typically as 'friendly'

I prefer specialty products myself

Yup, had to cut part of the liner and shaved some metal of the wheel well. I have no clunking noises but I do have some sqeeking.

yeah, mine fits fine, just when I hit potholes or big bumps, the control arm nails the fenderwall. (sounds scary) I'm planning on shaving it down soon. (btw-i have ingalls)

they are made from the mother company...suspension specialties or some shit.

Prokit drop...it settled around 1.5-1.7 inches.

they do fix camber with out camber kits, actually you can do the back by yourself with some washers or shims, the front I couldn't figure it out! for the front and rear, if i can remember correctly was $280, front only is $160, and they do a damn good job, I actually got a compliment on my camber from a guy that had an integra at the gas station the other day!

a compliment on your camber? what the hell...What he say "damn those tires look straight"? Hmm soo they just permantly set your car for the drop that you have...Im thinking maybe keep my back camber kit on doesnt have any problems and go to that place to fix the front... But if you ever take the springs off what happens? And did the price you pay include an alignment?
