I got the FLEX's and the Ingalls. Guy at the alignment shop said they were very easy to adjust, and much better than some of the other kits he has seen out there.

Even with an aggressive drop, a front camber kit is not necessary. The stock parts can be adjusted to within spec without an aftermarket kit.

The rear is different as a kit is required. The ingalls is the better one to get.

The main difference is the SPC replaces the upper arm. Ingalls replaces 2 lower arms.

Yes, the SPC replaces an upper arm. Ingalls replaces 2 of the rear suspension arms allowing you to adjust camber and toe.

PM me if you need a set.

I bought a front camber kit to increase front camber slightly, they arent only a correction part but also a performance part if your looking for a more aggressive alignment

you need the spoon upper arms to get more camber in the front, the SPC will barely do it

Only negative I have noticed about the Ingalls is something JTso has mentioned before, the alignment guy absolutely needs to get the locking nuts as tight as possible. It requires a crows foot to get the proper amount of torque.

I also have the Ingalls front camber kit. There is almost no difference with the SPC kit for the front.

The guy who aligned my car at NTB last (not going back there btw) said that he needed some special tool to tighten it properly actually......how bad is it if they don't have this "crows foot" and is it going to come "loose?"

It is fairly important. I think my passenger side when out of spec last year and I got terrible tire wear. The problem with having a simple box end is that you have VERY little room to tighten down the locking nut.

Yea i saw the guy struggle with that but he improvised and made some odd looking contraption with a long pipe connected to the box wrench so he could get more leverage and more grip cause his hands didn't fit up there. It should be tight!!!....lol

They got me to about -1.9 degrees which was more than enough.

Having said that, I'm now considering the spoon arms because you can't be very low with the SPC kit installed.
