camber question

i tried searching but i got a little confused...
so today i installed my tanabe nf210's and i was looking for the ingalls camber kit. i know its about 75$ per side. my question is, if i order the camber kit for both sides, does it fix my toe setting when i do my alignment? or do i need to order 4 pieces and use 2 for camber and 2 for toe? or what?
and also, would i need to purchase anything for front alignment?
thanks

You don't need anything for your front.

Camber kits are designed to fix your camber...not your toe. However, there are two camber kits...SPC and ingall. Ingall's camber kit gives you some toe adjustment if you need it in addition to the stock toe adjustment.

The ingalls kit is for the rear. You need 2 pairs, making it $150.

I was also wondering, the ingalls camber kit adjusts the camber, and adjusts the toe, for a good adjustment, should the rear tires toe be negative, meaning the top of the tire looks pointed inwards? or should it look stock, and straight up? i see people with camber kits, and have their toe at negative, does that fix the tire wear?

The TSX's spec sheet calls for -1 degree of camber. This helps in cornering (the TSX's suspension is, after all, "race-inspired"). People who autocross will get front and rear camber kits and put negative camber in both the front and back. I think the general concensus here is that it's the toe setting that causes most tire wear, and camber only affects it to a lesser degree. I think most people zero out their toe here. I think some people use slightly negative toe for autocrossing. I haven't autocrossed before, so I don't exactly know what the tuning rules are

The Ingalls kit has 2 arms per side. One for camber and one for toe.

There are pics in that link of the rear setup with 2 arms.

You are confusing toe with camber. Toe is the angle of the wheel pointing to the front, while camber is the angle pointing to the top. Stock is -1º camber (top pointing inwards) and 1mm toe in (front pointing inwards).

Stick to stock unless your car sees tracktime often.
