My run in with Ingalls Ball Joint Camber Kit

Not sure if im the only one that has ran into this problem but I just went through a Hell'ish day with this kit, Made specifically for a 99 Acura CL 2.3 (Which I own) and did not fit with the stock Upper control arms for some reason. Im wondering if anyone else has ran into this problem, or if anyone has used them and they worked great, The model ones I got were 35590. Im ?¿? on this subject as to what to do, Basically I spent about $160 on the kit, ended up not being able to use it, ended up having to pay shop fee's plus I had to buy another Upper Control arm + Ball Joint seeing that the ball joints are pressed in and they do not necessary sell them (at least around here) as a single. Just giving a heads up to ya guys looking to fix the wheels camber using a ball joint camber kit. I guess now I could try adjusting the Control arms to fix the .60 degree of camber I have.

MY LUCK WITH CARS =

Yeah they fit on my 3.0 they originally called me and told me it wouldn't fit but got it to work. but now my when I got my alignment done the 2nd time the mechanic had a hell of a time doing and it's all fucked up now and the car wants pull to the left like whoa!! They said take it to another place and try there, I will since I got the 3 year alignment deal ($140 for unlimited alignments for 3 years).

im not really the best firends with camber kits either, i had to have mine returned twice, and when the ones i had finally fit they would smash the bottom of my shock towers, so i had to have them airhammered.

Get the 94-97 accord model because the one that says fit 99 2.3 CL will not fit...I had to return mines for 94-97 accord model for it to fit.

there are two doff sizes. Honda had two diff mnufacturers on the upper control arm. There are two diff sizes. Ask the manufacturer to get you the diff size. Try fir the accord like mentioned above.

I just ordered an Eibach camber kit for my 3.0 CL.

How hard is it to DIY? Should I just take it to a shop?

^Yeah, I'm very inexperienced, haha, but my dad knows his was around. Plus with the help of my brother (whom put the lowering springs on) I'm sure we'd be able to do it. My dad's never done one before, and I'm not sure about my brother.

Is there any equipment I'd have to rent or anything? I'll have a shop do the alignment.

You'll probably need a hydraulic press
