spc camber kit? what do you think of this one?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SPC-A...spagenameZWDVW

Is that a good price? Should I trust this company? If not, where would you or where did you get the camber kit? As you can see with my signature, I'm dropped and I need a camber adjustment and alignment ASAP!

You probably only need the rear. If you have the current alignment specs you'll be able to tell if you need them or not. The "Extended Range Adjustable Ball Joint" minimum correction is +1.5*. That means if you don't have at least a -1.5* you'll end up with a positive camber. Bad for handeling, tire wear and looks.

Not all cars are the same but I'm lowered about 3" and the front is still within specs. I have the SPC rear camber kit. Same as the Eibach's.

I'm not sure if I would trust that company. Doesn't excelerate have a groupbuy on these? The total comes up to like, $310 + 3% for paypal I believe. You know you can trust excelerate though.

SPC is a reputable company if thats what you're referring to...if you're referring to the ebay seller...he has 99.9% so i don't really see whats not to trust. BTW, if you're getting a front camber kit I would look into spending extra and getting a ingalls control arm...the ball joint reduces the amount of travel you're suspension has. If you're front isn't too low, I would just forget about getting the front camber kit all together.

not a bad price, but if you search hard enough you can get both front and rear for under 300 shipped. i'm using spc camber kit, front and rear, great stuff.

If you have a drop greater than 1.5" you should get #67320 (F) and #67090 (R).

So, the Ingalls control arm would be better than the SPC kit in the rear. The ingalls also seems cheaper.

I just found out that my camber is -2.2 and -1.0 in the rear.

i have the adjustable ball joint front camber kit and from my experience, i wouldnt use em. the nut on top of the ball joint can loosen up over time and it start to spin around in the control arm. my passenger side keeps coming loose over and over. i just ordered the ingalls adjustable control arm which looks like the best way to go for the front. http://www.ingallseng.com/parts/39201-39204.htm i picked it up on eBay for $214shipped for both sides.

i also have the ingalls rear kit and its been great so far.
