Can someone confirm this, but it looks to me that the SPC kit does one upper and one lower arm verses the Ingalls which does both lower arms.

Which is better or am I missing something??

 

SPC replaces the upper control arm. Ingalls replaces both the lower center and lower rear links.

It's hard to say if one is really better than the other. Most people buy the Ingalls as it doesn't require any special tool for the installation, whereas the SPC requires a ball joint tool. For what it's worth, Comptech and Eibach sell the SPC kits.

 

Yeah, I was looking at the details of both and found that Ingalls handles camber and tow whereas the SPC just does camber. I understand how they both work, so would you gain anything by have all three arms being adjustable (much to the love of one's alignment guy I'm sure).

Guess I ask because I'm on a very limited budget after f*ing my exhaust up on a highway median b/c of some late winter snow and just bought a set of springs, so I have to get the better of the two kits if both aren't required (prices for the kits seem to be within $20 of one another).

 

I'd saying toe adjustability makes the Ingalls better. I've found that adjusting the toe above anything else gives better road feel and stability. I just put my coilovers on and I can tell the toe is off as the rear is a bit jumpy, I'm looking forward to an alignment to get that straightened out.

 

True, the ingalls does have better toe adjustment comparing to the SPC, which uses the factory eccentric cam toe adjustment.

 

also i got the ingalls from ultrarev and it cost about $130 and the cheapest spc i found was about $190, for me the smart one was the ingalls, yet not installed on the car yet.

 

Yeah, but the car should have a toe adjustment from the factory already anyway......

 

I found the SPC kit (both wheels) for $133 and the Ingalls kit (both wheels) for $130, so either one is fine for me.

I think the only reason to go and do both is if you are racing autox or something and need the extreme rear camber, hence you need all of the components to adjust, but I just want to get the camber out of that -1 to -1.5 range. It is eating through my tires. I now have 31k on the car and the tires SUCK on the inner surface, but have great tread on the outer.

 

Well I went with the Ingalls. I take pics when I get the work done.
