I've heard very good things about Ingalls.

From experience, I can tell you do not buy OBX. I wasted $115 + labor for an OBX front kit that is absolute garbage.

My tires already rubbed out most of my fender clips from turning/bein too low. would a camber kit push out the top of the wheel or suck in the bottom? if you know what i mean...

Maybe you should try raising the car some. Get an alignment and make sure to ask for the spec sheet so you can see how far out of alignment it is and then pick the correct camber kit for it.

I'd recommend the ingall's camber arms b/c adj ball joints don't do much and w/ the camber arms they solve the problem of the upper portion hitting the fenderwell. You'll probably spend around $300 but think about what you'll be saving in the long run as far as tires go. Plus, it'll be easier for you to adjust the alignment later on.

spc is good as long as you dont go too low. they hit the strut tower under pressure if you're low. like me. and they leave dents and make a big thud when you bottom out. ask me how i know... haha.

So if I were to lower my car with lowering springs then I would definately need to buy a camber kit and adjust the camber or it will eat up my tires if I dont? I will be putting the rims on next week and will probably want to lower it after. So I need to do camber adjustments if I lower it?
