Definitely avoid the Ebay kit. Some people have also had issues with the bushings in the Ingalls kits, whom I'm sure will chime in. That being said your best bet will either be the Ingalls kit or the SPC rear arm kit. We have the SPC arms for $78.18 each.

I have the SPC mentioned above, no complaints. The bushings and ball joint look comparable to OEM quality.

whats the difference between the upper and lower camber arms??

Wouldnt the lower camber give more +/- camber than the top?

Some people complain about having issues with the lower arms and soft bushings and not staying aligned. I believe they also effect Toe too. I just ordered the upper SPC kit. The lower arms do allow for more camber adjustment.

The lower arms do have a lot of range, but so do the uppers. There is more movement at the top of the wheel with the SPC kit, and more movement at the bottom with the Ingalls. So it makes a difference for folks with tight wheel fitments, but ultimately either adjusts camber fine.

Those complaints are definitely legitimate but are from a past timeframe and Ingalls has not been able to validate these issues. There are some folks that have issues they are very vocal about, but also there are countless people who are using Ingalls kits happily.

We believe there was simply a bad run of kits a few years ago. Historically, and recently, we have not had issues with Ingalls kits.

Ultimately, the SPC is a great kit, as is the Ingalls. So either is a great choice, and both are available on Heeltoeauto.com, and normally in stock as well.

Here is my direct advice for you.

1) Don't buy a front camber kit. If you are just putting on H&R springs, the camber won't change much and you really won't need them.
2) Take the money you save from the front and make sure you don't get an eBay brand kit. The one you link to is a Ingalls kit, but buy from an authorized retailer (like Heeltoe ). SPC for sure will NOT honor warranty on items bought on eBay.
3) If you want a great deal on the H&R and Ingalls combo, be sure to submit a request on our site (Custom Pricing is available, so find that link) and we will make sure you get the right parts quickly, and stand behind them 100%.
