Ingalls is good.

Which type is the one that can puncture your hood?

^or wheel well........i have personally seen it happen, my friend hit a speed "ball" that divides the lanes, went straight thru the metal, saw it after we opened the hood (but didn't puncture the hood)

Yeah, my SPC front camber kit hits the fender wells all the time. It sucks. I guess it's just the downside of having a camber kit...

My spc kit didn't make holes, but it did make contact. I cut holes like Blake here did.

I was considering creating holes but I dunno if I wanna decrease the rigidity of the chassis. I did end up having to raise my car up a little from where it was so that it didn't bang so much. Kinda sucks...

Is that the controll arm type. I am looking into some too, but they are the ball joint (ingalls). Are these good? I haven't heard much about these. Are they hard too install, does anyone have a write up? Dude whatever you do don't go cheap. I still have my ebay control arm type sitting in the attic. they were broken upon arrival,lol, sucks.

cant we put some kinda thick rubber to absorb the impact to prevent such sever denting? maybe even a very strong spring of some type, but ide say a thick piece of rubber would be better.

Both camber kit styles have draw backs. The upper ball joint caues the dent/hole in the fender well. The control arm ball joint if adjusted far enough out will cause the end of the control arm to bang into the fender well.

So we're screwed either way....

SPC is the lesser of the two evils. Go SPC.

I use Ingalls personally, haven't had any problems.

MidNiteMysT · 11-04-2005, 02:51 PM

i used eibach, but i think think they are made from spc anyway, so they are exactly the same as the spc. ide get that thump when i hit a big bump, but otherwise, i dont really have any problems with it.
