Default Need camber kit fast,,,which one is good...

Whats the best kit or are they all the same (ingalls,eibach,spc). I just dropped the car with eobach pro kit and need the kit for the back. The guy told me the front was fine after the lower,but the rear needed the kit. I can get all the kits for about the same price. so what do you guys think. The weird thing was the front was ok after the springs were put on. Wow 1.5" drop and no problems. Saved me $40 for the front allignment.

I have SPC in the rear. They work good, but the ball joints cracked after only a year and a half. They replaced them for free, but it was still kind of a pain that I had to change them so soon. We'll see how these new ones hold up. They told me they changed the boot material, but we'll see.

I'm running the Eibach rear kit, I haven't had any issues but I don't drive my Accord as much as Schmiddy either though.

Yeah, these I think only lasted about maybe...18-20K miles. They were cool about providing replacements, and hopefully they have the issue worked out.

Yeah, the time those were on the car I lived in rust belt. Ohio.

Chad...there was some slight creaking/squeaking noises when I drove over small bumps. BUT...when I was doing the install I also was messing with other stuff and I was swinging my exhaust around a bit and had some of the same noise, so I lubed the hangers which pretty much stopped it. So after the install the noise went away, but I can't for sure say it was the exhaust or the joints or a combination of both.

I'm not a firm believer in mix-matching parts, so I'd go for the Eibach. Nothing but good things I've heard, but meh what do I know.. :dunno:

I've heard that Eibach's are just rebadged SPC's that are more expensive, but maybe that's just a nasty rumor.
