SPC vs Ingalls rear camber kit

Any recommendations here? It looks like Ingalls uses a ball joint and arm, whereas SPC uses 3 arms. Which is easier to align? I would assume that the 3 arms would be easier to install than pulling the ball joint, even though I have access to a ball joint spreader.

My toe is way off, so I need to order something soon.

The Ingalls kit allows for + or - 3 degrees of toe adjustment, whereas the SPC kit only allows for + or - 1 degree of adjustment. If your toe is really out of spec, you'll be better off with the Ingalls kit. We have the kit available on our website for $145.84 per side.

Ingalls is cheaper but harder to align. SPC is more expensive but easier to align.

Per side? per wheel? or does one kit do both the rear wheels?

I plan to buy the SPC kits once my bday rolls around (end of Aug). I'm not a fan of the slight negative camber I have in the rear and want it to be the same as the front (@ -1.5; currently rears at -3.2 & -2.7).

It should be fun trying to get the ride height equal again, front and back. It seems like it will be tough since adjusting the height will affect the camber, and when that's fixed it will affect the height.

I was told by my mechanic that it's easier to get a more precise adjustment as well.

As ep3minivan mentioned, that price is per side for the rear, so you would need to order a quantity of 2 for both rear sides.

I will say it takes time and patience to adjust the Ingalls ball joint (because it's in a very tight spot) and less time and effort for the SPC kit because the arms are around an open location and easily accessible for the tech. I've had several shops work on my car and all of them came out sweating taking at least an hour to get it within specs lol.
