SPC vs Ingals camber kit

Hey guys, I'm about to purchase a camber kit and wanted to know which is the better one, SPC or Ingals. Spoken to a few shops and they say that both are good but the advantage goes to Ingals because it can be adjusted allot more than the SPC. The pricing of the Ingals is also lower than SPC, if any members have any or a combination of these please chime in. Thanks

Ingalls is good too. My alignment tech prefers ingalls since it provides camber and toe adjustment. SPC only allows for camber adjustment.

I spoke to josh at xcl8 and he said they sell allot more Ingalls than they do SPC. I think FYAH TL has SPC in the rear and Ingalls in front. So I think I'm going to pull the trigger and I'm going to go with Ingalls because it offers alignment for tow and camber.

^ i do have the ingalls for the front and in the rear i have the SPC that comes with the 3 arms per side. Haven't had any issues with the ingalls in the front and it is identical to the SPC but cost less.

I have Ingalls in the rear. High quality kit. I highly recommend it. Got my car back into alignment just fine in the rear. Here is a picture of it installed. 3 piece if not needed in the rear and will also make it harder to get it into alignment vs just a 2 piece.

^^ I have the 3 piece SPC for the rear and my car is lowered quite low and can easily be put into OEM alignment specs. There's nothing difficult about the 3 piece SPC rear camber kit to get the car into oem specs for camber and toe. To OP the great thing is you have options Ingalls or SPC they both will work.

I friend of mine got the Ingalls all around and his car looks nice with enough camber to avoid any rubbing. If the SPC are better then why are more people purchasing the Ingalls over the SPC.

When I got my wheels I got a rear wheels with a 10.5 width and an offset of 42. I knew I was going to have issues with rubbing, so I rolled my fenders and set the EDFC to 0 and rubbing like crazy, the final attemp is getting the camber kit and hopefully it'll work.

i don't think one is superior or much better than the other. they both can bring your camber and toe where you want it. SPC uses 3 arms and Ingalls uses 1 arm and a ball joint. Some people have SPC and some have ingalls both will work and accomplish what you are seeking. When it comes to pricing the ingalls cost less than SPC.

Both companies make good products but the INGALLS kit offers more adjustment for less of a price. With INGALLS and SPC both camber and toe is +/- 3 degrees. A qty of 2 is ordered.

How does the INGALLS kit offer more adjustment when the specs you wrote are identical?

Sorry that was a typo. With the INGALLS it's +/-3 degrees. With SPC it's +/- 3 degrees on the camber side but only +/- 1 degree on the toe side. And the SPC kit is more costly.

You are rubbing probably on the tabs in the rear that attach the bumper and fender together with a screw. You needto move the screw further back and trim the tab down a bit. Also have a fender roller bend you fender lips up a little.

Welp. my Ingals camber bolt on my driver side slipped. It was still freakin tight. But it went way way in after hitting a hard bump on the cruise i was leading today in the hill country. I didn't notice it till I got home late this evening after another 200 miles of driving that my left rear wheel looked like this / severely. So I unenlightened it and tightened it up again and extra tight this time. But now I have to get my alignment again. I was worried that hose might move if stressed enough. Obviously I found their weak point.

Was it the adjustable ball joint or the toe adjuster?

The Ball Joint. I auto-crossed heavily today in the car and it did not move. I got home, measured the right side, and adjusted the one that moved to the exact location of the right as that is how we did it when we installed it as that was dead on for alignment. It's perfect again. This time extra tight.

I think its good to go, If Autox didn't make it slip as hard as I pushed it today (HARD, was the fastest person out there today), it won;t be moving!

Sorry for all my mess ups on my other post. IPAD typing will do that especially when no tapatalk.
