Ingalls in the rear here.
I dont have any issues up front. ~2" drop on Ksports.
Also, its toe that kills tires, not camber.

spc in the front.If you going 2 inches or more get the one's that allow you to adjust more+/- of camber.
I'm at about 2" low in the front with the smaller kit,and I'm still getting wear on the inside of the tires with them adjusted all the way out.
1 set of ingalls and 1 set of wicked tunning in the rear.

RP, are you sure your toe is set correctly? The camber shouldnt wear them down excessivly.

who knows ,I just bought a new set of rear tires and was going to buy a cheap camber kit that has the ball joints and all four rear arms and get it lined up.
First is getting the motor back together,bolts should be here the 14th and tires should be here the 16th.then the kit will follow soon.
x-mas is here and I'm still buying for myself. I'm a ass.

If you're low enough to need to correct the front camber, get the adjustable arms. The so called "lowest profile adjustable ball joints" from Ingalls aren't low enough. The nut and stud at the top will hit the shock tower. There have been many people who have had this problem.
If you don't believe me, I'll sell you mine.

I'd recommend the Ingalls rear kit. It includes 2 arms per side: one for toe and one for camber adjustment. You might be able to get the front into spec without a camber kit. It depends on your setup and how low you are.
You would need 2 of the following to complete the rear of a car.

I love my KSports, BUT, after having them on my Civic for about a year, one blew, and it was after the warranty expired.

my suggestion, heads or tails on a penny, now go flip. both are excellent. i already asked how it happened. no need to ask again. you are thinking way too hard about this decision.

Everything was fine for the first 8 months I had them on the Civic. I parked it when I got a Prelude and it sat. When I pulled the suspension out before I sold it I noticed the rear was leaking. It wasnt leaking prior to parking it. The car sat for a few months.
Ive had the Ksports in the CL for almost a year now. I inspect them every now and then. So far, so good.
With the Civic, I had them set on the stiffest setting because I was dropped. On the CL, they are 7 clicks from the softest setting.
I like them for the threaded shock body. You dont have the bottoming out issues that some do with the Teins because the shock always has full travel.
Ive heard issues a few years ago about the Omnis. There were issues where the strut body would crack. Im not sure if they addressed that, nor am I positive if the Omnis are made in the same factory as the Ksports seeing how the F2 coilovers are the same as the Ksports (and I think the Megans too).
And yes, the warranty is one year.
