7982, Ingalls camber kit.
Posted by dudasd, Mar-26-02 05:05 AM
OK, I just ordered a set of Sportlines and when I went to order the camber kit it gives you 2 options. Is it a matter of wait until the springs are on and then decide which kit you need or do we all pretty much need the same one???

Well the sportlines are going to drop you about 2" + in the front. My H&R's lowered me about 2" in my front, and I need at least another 1+ degree of positve camber to be in spec. Ingalls part # 3578 gives about +1.25-+3 degrees of adjustment, so this is the one that will work best. The other optional part # is 3576, but this will only give up to 1 full degree of positive adjustment, which for me at a 2" drop, will not be enough, or just barely enough to be in spec. Go with the part # 3578. I got mine at gmpperformance.com, for 74.25 for EACH side. I would go with theese. I will be recieving my kit tomorrow(wed/3/27), and i and going to take some pics and do a small write up on the install. It really is very simple to do. Dont even have to take off the wheel. But install yours when you do the springs, it will be just as easy. I would think most alignment shops will know how to adjust them for proper camber. And another thing, you may want to get the ingalls rear kit too, the 15 dolla mod won't be enough adjustment for the camber, unless you want to add more washers, which i personally wouldnt do. My rear dropped about 1.6-1.75, and it really needs more positive camber, or more washers to be exact..

Thx for the info, I'll definitely have to order from them. MachV wants 199 for the pair so 75 per side is definitely a better deal....Thanks again.....Wish the write up would help, but since I'm doing the springs and evertyhing at once and I have limited tools at my Apt, I'm gonna have to break down and pay somebody to do it.....:(

I ordered a set of Ingalls from this guy on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1816590401 Took about 3 weeks to get them to me due to them being out of stock but they should have them replenished now. This includes the front and back and for $174 for the complete set shipped was cheapest I could find. I installed these last night and it took me about 2 hours changing the springs and adding the Ingalls kit. Air tools helped and if you can find a friend to help you it will make it much easier. Just an FYI. When installing the rear washers, don't have the shock on there. I put the shocks on and tried which was a bear on the passinger side. I took the shock back off and did the drivers side in about 5 minutes and had the shock back on.

Cool deal, I just checked it out. I actually goofed on the original post, I got the Pro-kit not the Sportlines so I'm gonna wait and see how bad it is when they get put on tomorrow and go from there. Probably end up ordering the Ingalls kit either way, never know when extra room to move will come in handy. Thanx again guys.....

Hey just as info. I just installed and got an alignment on my car with the ingalls kit. Here is something to keep in mind. Since you say that you have the pro kits, dont get the kit i mentioned earlier. Get the kit that adjusts to 1 pos degree, not the 3 pos degree that i got. With my 2" drop in the front, the kit i got put my camber almost exactly in spec. But here is the kicker. The kit i got automatically puts 1.25 pos degree of camber on the front wheel, which is all i needed, and if i happened to need any NEG camber, it wouldn't do it because it was already adjusted to its most neg setting. Thankfully, i didn't need any more neg camber, so it worked out great. With you prokits, you won't need as much pos camber, so go with the other kit i talked about. For those with a drop over 2" in the front, don't do it!! This is kinda hard to explain, but this is what i found out. If i had to have any more pos camber, the top of the outer part of the control arm, right by the upper ball joint, it would have HIT the fender body. The control arm would hit the upper fender of the car, if i had to move out the control arm any more for more pos camber. This would mean that some cutting, or custom work would have to be done to get your camber in spec with over 2" drops. If you look up at the upper ball joint, you will see what i mean. I have like not even an 1/8 of an inch of clearence from the edge of the control arm, and the fender body. It doesnt rub though. So to all who want over 2" drops and want your camber to be in spec, keep this in mind. I hope this all makes sense to you all.

I held off on oredering the camber kit for now. Gonna wait and see what it looks like when I get it back later today. Man I wish my roomate coulda dragged her lazy ass outta bed sooner, had to get a ride back to the house from one of the guys there who was hell bent on trying to impress me with his Honduh the whole way home.....damn those things are even noiser and obnoxious inside!!!! Hopefully I'll have it back by early afternoon and see what I need to order then. My other rooomate is in Charlotte right now so I can have him swing by gmpperformance and fed-ex up the camber kit for me. I'll drop a post later and let you guys know just how off it is ........
