So... I just dropped my car on Tein S-Techs Friday and went to get an alignment Saturday and this was the printout:



So...

To fix these issues, I was thinking:

Front: SPC http://www.heeltoeauto.com/spc-adjus...roductid=65333

and

Rear: Ingalls http://store.excelerateperformance.c.../i-412291.aspx


Can anyone verify/confirm this setup will fix my camber issues and that these are the correct products?

Thanks!

ingalls front and spc rear 3 piece kit

I'm looking to dropping my car too. It sounds like springs and the camber kit will add up to $600 or so.

Would it be just cheaper to get coilovers? Tein basics or Megan EZ are about $640.

any height adjustment will require camber kit.

unless your just lowering it like 1 inch.. then that shouldnt make a difference.

Pot why do you recommend ingall ball joint over SPC for the front?

potmilkz

just a personal preference.. ingalls to me are better in quality. plus i think they are a 6-8 bucks cheaper depending on where you buy it.

spc is alright.. ive heard that j-power kits come from the exact same manufactuer as spc.

j-power kits are about 180 + shipping for the full 6 piece rear arm. left and right.
here is the link.

i would trust this as many vouch for them but none has any problems.

I've had the Ingals for about 3 weeks and so far so good, shops like the Ingals because they can be adjusted a little more than the SPC and are easier to mount.

You should see mine lol. Way off on the rear camber. I don't think you need a front kit though. It's good to have a little negative camber for handling from what I read. Also, I was looking at J-Power and heard good and bad things about them such as the bushings would prematurely wear within 2 or 3 years. It will help if you have name brand stuff too if you decide to part out or sell the car down the road. I'm in need of a kit badly though with my drop.

i dont think the j-power kit will necessarly break or anything.. 2-3 years down the line for bushings going bad.. maybe.. but i think it is still worth it.

This. I haven't seen them for $640 shipped. Quick google search prices Basics out at $690 plus shipping and tax brings out to about $755. Add on a F/R camber kit and you'd be pushing $1200 or more roughly unless you could score some sweet deals.

Front or rear or both?

Yeah, I could probably get away with the passenger side. -1.3 degrees is right at the manufacturer's max I believe. I was looking at J-Power as a cost effective means, but my research showed somewhat split reviews. Enough to make it a much harder call than simply price alone would lead me to believe. If some members on here have them and could share their review/experience... I could be swayed...

I haven't read through the links yet (but I will), but I have read other various forums (various car applications, not just TL... mostly for other cars actually since TL isn't modded much by comparison)... and I found the reviews to be split... most (all?) complaining about the bushings as TeamAcura pointed out. Admittedly, a lot of people were "hating" on them as "cheap ebay knockoffs" due to the price without actually having any personal experience with the product themselves. If there was a way to validate they are made by the same manufacturer as PSC, that could add some credibility to the quality of j-power products... oh well.

I don't know, I would love to save some cash, but the reviews seem too sketchy imo.

Also for anyone looking, the Ingalls website for the front ball joints: https://www.ingallseng.com/35592-adj...all-joint.html doesn't say they are compatible with 2010-2013. Probably just haven't updated it I assume?

Yep, front and rear.

I've heard, but haven't confirmed that SPC products are made by ebachi? I got my (SPC) rear camber kit for 190 a corner, shipped for free w/ no tax.

I'll do more research before I decide on SPC or ingall ball joints, thanks Pot!
