Originally I bought an ingalls kit(rear) for my 7th gen accord and the shop called and said that they were back ordered on the Ingalls and asked if I would take the SPC instead. I was in a hurry to get them and said ok. Did I make the right choice? The ingalls kit looks different from the SPC on the web anyway. HELP

 

If they are like what's offered on 6th gen Accords, they each work different ways to adjust the camber.

Thanks I just posted a quiestion on there.

Here it is again if anyone knows the answer to it.....................
So does the lower arm bring the tire in a little(ingalls). I have a rim that is barely clearing the fender with it being stock. If I put the SPC on top it will bring the rim out a little. So if I put the ingalls on the bottom I can bring the rim in a little? is this how it works?

 

Well I was initially thinking that would be an advantage of the Ingalls, because I also have tight clearance. Tight enough that without any camber correction, no rubbing, with camber correction, slight rubbing.

BUT ANYWAY...I was thinking about it, and really...the hub isn't going anywhere when you adjust the camber on these kits...so if you have the SPC that pushes the top out, or the Ingalls that pulls the bottom in, the hub remains pretty much fixed, so as you pull the bottom in with the Ingalls, the top will consequently push out due to pivoting on the hub. Without getting into to calclulating the lever arms with the distance of the camber kit attachment to the hub, I'm going to go with my gut...both kits will result with the top of the tire in basically the same position given a common camber setting.

 

I was thinking along the same lines ,but wasnt sure what would be the outcome. I'm glad that someone else gave me the input. As for the kits it seams like the ingalls would be a better deal. The whole ball joint boot issues is kinda scary. I already have the SPC kit so I'm going to give it a shot. I'll let you know the outcome. I'm also going to leave a little neg camber to try and avoid rubbing. any suggestions on the -cabmer I should leave. I read to leave -2 is that good on tires?

 

If you are going to run any degree of negative camber other then OE, why bother with a camber kit?

My car sets at -0.5 with the kit, -1.5 without the kit.....if you aren't going to run OE camber why even have the headache of the camber kit?

The Ingalls kit should set the tire just slightly in a tad more in total, I'm not sure it would matter in the grand end though. I'm effectively back to -1.5 for the time being until I get my car aligned and I can't tell the difference from -0.5 visually at the moment....

 

Cant say i kno that cause i dont deal with those on my part the globe, nice to kno wut yu guys think tho

 

True ,,,but if I cant fit the tires under the fender after the camber kit is installed I at least want to get some kind of wear out of the tires.
