Front camber kit?

Noob question, but I tried searching and I could not find much. What is the difference from the Ingalls front camber kit and the Skunk2 one? I have read that on the Ingalls, you have to cut a hole because of the bolt hitting the top.

I believe you have to make modifications (cuts) to the skunk 2 as well. There was a DIY thread a week back

you don't HAVE to cut holes in your shock tower if you're using adjustable ball joints...but, if you are low enough you will get tired of hearing the UCA SMASH BANG CRACK against the tower so eventually you might just cut the hole anyway.

same with the skunk kit, sort of. you can modify the arms to dial in more negative camber IF you want to, you don't have to. skunk themselves can do this for you at the factory for an additional charge OR you can try it yourself.

again, both of these scenarios aren't necessary but optional.

I'm telling you from experience. Spend more and buy the Skunk2 UCA instead of the Ingalls adjustable bushings. They're a pain in the ass to adjust and my car wasn't even that low. Plus they will move and spin inside of the UCA which makes them even more difficult to adjust correctly.

INGALLS just sells adjustable ball joints, SK2 sells an entire upper control arm with adjustable ball joints. So the SK2 kit is a better setup since it will offer more adjustment.
