best camber kits and what to stay away from?

i decided i want to buy a camber kit. but the problem is, i dont know which! ive seen eibach, progress, ingalls and kmax. i know a lot of you are dropped so i just wanted to know how you like ur kit and which kit u have. any other info will help me out. ide like to order as soon as i decide on a camber kit. i need good adjustability and i want very nice qaulity. im gonna be lowering my car like 1.5inches and then for winter, i might raise it a little higher then stock for the snow. so i need a camber kit that will be able to be good for both situations. ide appreciate any help i can get on the issue. thanx.

the problem with the ingalls is that is has two kits and doesnt have a full range of adjustability. i think its -3/4 to 1.5 then 1.5 to 3. ide like to just have a lot of adjustability if i plan to return the car to stock or maybe even a little higher then stock or just wanna raise it a tiny bit without a problem with camber.

if you want to be low, get the ingalls, I have them and they work great. If you're worried about putting the car back to stock, all you'd need to do is put the stock bushings back in, and you'd be set.

I don't think there's a camber kit that will allow you to have that much play, you have to get the right one for your setup.

the progress allows +- 1.5 camber and i think the kmax has up to 3. im just not sure of the quality of both. thats whats stopping me.

It's easy... if you're going with a drop smaller than 1.75, get the 3/4-1.5 ingalls... if you're droppin it more than 1.75 in. (an extreme drop), then get the 1.5-3 ingalls..... Ingalls is the best I think.

yea but since i have adjustable height, i might wanna have it at a pretty low drop sometimes just for fun. and ingalls doesnt have 3/4 to 1.5 adjustment only -3/4 to 1 degress. thats pretty small. meaning i cant drop it much more then 1 inch. def cant do 1.5 inch drop. so then i would have to get the other kit but in the winter time i wanna raise my car to stock height, maybe even a little higher for all the snow. thats the problem i have. thats why im thinkin about progress because i think its adjustable up to 1.75 degrees. see my point?

Well then there ya go MidniteMyst, looks like you found the kit you should get. I've never heard of that company, but hey, it adjusts up to 4.5, so go for it.

the thing is, that kit is very expensive. do u guys know exactly how much they cost? im also not so sure of the quality of it since i never heard of the brand.

im starting to think if i should just put on my new suspension, lower it, take it for an alignment to see how much negitive camber i have, then buy/decide on a new camber kit.

Don't settle for an "off-brand" kit if you happen to come across one that's really cheap. Just save up for the best... it'll pay off.

I just bought a drop zone camber kit, my friend has it on his GSR and heis very happy with it... It corrects his camber issues. and... that's the point of this little piece of metal... so I don't see the justification for spending > $300 on 4 pieces of metal just because it says Ingalls IMO. I mean i do buy name brand parts because I know the quality is usually better and the reputation is there...but for a camber kit... I'm straight with Drop Zone for $209 front/rear.
