Default Ingalls vs. Skunk2

Which one would you get and why?

Im looking more for folks with experience with them. Functionality advantages and disadvantages. I dont care for looks so please dont reply saying you prefer one over the other b/c it looks better. Discuss!

I've heard of ingalls kit slipping. Many times. My friends ingall kit slipped on him. I haven't heard that about the Skunk2 kit.

The both have a slider caster. So I'm weary of both of 'em. That's the reason I chose the progress kit. It not as "adjustable" as the ingalls or skunk2 kit, but I also don't have a moving part in my suspension. :thumbup:

With real stiff suspension I'm thinking sliding caster is the last thing you'd want.

Just my thoughts.

I have the Skunk2 kit. It looks good.


It's pretty good and very easy to install. I'd say less than an hour all by myself...

My front is dropped about 2" or no gap at all and I have it adjusted all the way and actually have a very slight positive camber. The only bad thing about correcting the camber is that now my tires rub on sharp turns and some bumps at high speeds. But I guess I'd rather deal with that then having to deal with camber wear.

i have the skunk2 also.. it does an awesome job.. i've heard ingalls ends up pushing up into (something, i cant remember) and messes up your suspension...

the ingalls will push the arm closer to the fender. it can be a problem with your car is already sitting to low. i know my innder fender things have dents in them. i raised my car up a lil bit and the problem went away.

ive never heard of the ingalls slipping.

ive read of the skunk2 slipping. but the guy replaced the little allen key bolts with heavy hex bolts. problem solved.

the ingalls is cheaper and easier to install.

i have the ingalls, if i can do it again, im going with skunk2.

plus the red looks sweeeeet.

i've read the same thing on another board too. (replacing with hex bolts.)


Bumnah--- how many degrees does the Progress kit correct and how much did it cost?
