Out with the Eibach/SPC kit in-with the Ingalls...
I ordered the Ingalls rear camber kit "smart arms" kit from the TireRack.com it will be here this week.
I plan to do a full comparo and installation pics-of both camber kits for online here soon. So anyone installing any 6th gen kit should be covered. I'll also attempting to see if adjusting camber from the Eibach-SPC or the Ingalls lower arms can be determined visually, meaning if they appear to look visually different once correct camber is set.
I hope that the rear tires are a tad more tucked in from the Ingalls kit then with the SPC kit, but the difference between camber adj. on top or from below may not matter nor show visually.
If I get a spare set of hands in the Chicago area to help me out, this will be finished sooner then later.

You'll be able to visually tell the difference. You can actually see the camber moving with only one half turn of the bolt on the SPC kit. I just eyeballed my camber and set it myself both times I installed my SPC kits. I guess in theory the toe changes slightly with camber adjustments, but the first time I installed my camber kit, took it for a laser alignment, the rear camber was pretty much dead on the factory spec limit, and the toe wasn't bad. Haven't had an alignment since I installed my second set of SPC's.
h: But I've driven probably 3-5K miles since then, tires still look fine.
