Camber Question

[mr abero]

i was wondering if it made any significant difference from an expensive one to an ebay camber kit, ball joint one for my DA.....i want to pick one up so that i can adjust my camber and toe at the same time....because if its just the name im paying for im koo with some cheap ones that do the same job thanks!

sure you can use ebay ones.... is it recommended? NO not at all the ball joints and bushings are poorly made and the adjustments always have a possibility to move uncorrecting your alignment just go buy ones that are not going to fall apart. Also if your car isn't lowered too much you can just adjust your toe and be fine. Camber kits are when things get more serious.

ohhh!!!! so like cause i kinda got no name coils on stock shocks...even if i was to lower it as much as possible, which i wont be so low seeing how other people change out their shocks too, i really dont need one? cause my tires die out soooo quick

where are you getting tire wear? i bought some from spc and they are awesome plus easy to install. and ya if your lowered get some. i was maxed out due to an accident so i got em. now all my specs are almost at zero. but if you have no name springs or shocks get some real stuff then get ur alignment atuff at the same time. ALIGNMENT IS A HUGE PLUS OR EVIL MONEY EATING WHORE! lol i say that cuz when mine was off i ate up a 60k tire in 7k. my camber was .8 degrees which doesnt sound like alot but is horrible!

Did you ever get an alignment after you lowered it? The camber is not adjustable without getting after market control arms, but the toe is.

x2 on the alignment like mirror said. Also, I do not recommend ebay camber kits. I had a rear ebay camber kit, it fit poorly, the bushings literally fell apart and needless to say I now have a Buddy Club rear camber kit.

If you don't get the Skunk2 units, I would go with the Ingalls or SPC kit. Ingalls and SPC are not UCA style and have a bit less adjustment than the S2.
Also, camber kit has absolutely nothing to do with adjusting your toe. That is set by the outer tie rods.

I like SPC over skunk2, it might just be there 15 min from my house and know them personally, but I know there product is 100% the best. Ingalls is the same thing as SPC, it was one of the owners who split from SPC and started to do his own thing but his quality is the same as spc just diffrent name.

Does SPC have a UCA style kit that I'm unaware of?
I prefer the S2 kit because it replaces the upper ball joint as well as the bushings that mount the UCA to the chassis.
