TSX camber kits. Upper arm vs. Lower Arm
Does anyone know?.....
2004 TSX 6spd
I'm trying to decide which REAR camber kit to buy with my springs.
I've decided between two set-ups:
Ingalls kit
-Two lower control arms
-Adjustable camber
-Adjustable toe
Comptech
-One upper control arm with ball joint
-Adjustable camber only
Does anyone know if......
a. Does the rear toe go out of spec when the car is lowered?
b. The upper arm pushes the tires out at the top where the lower arms pull the tires in at the bottom. What is preferred? Any complications?
c. What is your preferred brand?
I think I would go with the upper are if the toe is fine after lowering.... less things for the alignment guy to mess up...
Thanks to all that reply.

If you need a set let me know.

I don't have experience with anything but Ingalls, but I'm pretty confident that it's the way to go. And since your car is 4-5 years old, I think you might have trouble getting the OE upper arm out anyway.

Let me help you!
Most people go with Ingall's. You also need a special tool to install SPC. The toe may not go out of spec, but it's always best to be able to zero them out. If you're an auto-crosser, you might want more adjustability

There's also Wicked Tuning, which has been popping up recently and a few forum goers are experimenting with it with good results.
I went with Ingalls because I like the ability to fully adjust both camber and toe. It's served me well so far.
