Ingalls and SPC rear camber kit together?

So I've been having a tough time getting my rear suspension aligned correctly because my car is lowered so much. I have Tein Flexs lowered ~3 1/8" in the rear with an Ingalls camber kit.

When I had the suspension aligned, the tech told me they couldn't get the camber lower than -2deg because the ingalls kit is at its minimum length, and sure enough there is no threads left on the links.

My first thought it Ingalls possibly has shorter bars that could be used with the end links, or another way to get more mobility would be to add the SPC kit. Anyone have thoughts on having 2 camber kits, I don't think its a very common problem.

If there isn't anymore thread left on the rod end, then all you have to do is to remove both rod ends off the shaft. Then cut an equal length off each end of the shaft. Then reinstall the rod ends.

Btw, I want to see the extreme lowering pics.

Hmm... on second thought, it might not work. How long are threads inside the shaft?

i'll take a pic, its not lowered more than before, but slightly aligned more. and I had the same question about the threads inside. one way that would work is to cut it in the middle and remove material and weld it together, but at doesn't seem very safe

What's wrong with running -2 degrees unless you can't pull the toe back into place?

And I assume you mean by having no threads left that you still have threads left, but you are at the markers on the threads.

Well, the SPC kit wouldn't change that anyway. Are you using all the OEM toe adjustment plus the Ingalls toe adjustment?

I assume so, the shop is pretty competent. the SPC could fix the camber by pushing the top of the wheel out, and then allow the bottom ingalls to make minor adjustments for toe

Sounds like that would fix your camber problem, BUT would you end up rubbing since your pushing the top out? I'm not sure of what offset you're running, but just something to keep in mind.
