i think it was neuspeed race springs, but i'm not sure. wasn't my car thank god... was this dude over at honda-tech. he said he didn't dog on his ride much... the ingalls kit is just made really crappy. there's one spot weld holding the joint on to the arm.. unfortunately most other camber kit manufacturers that offer the adjustable arm have the same problem...

so... just get some aircraft grade bolts and washers and call it a day man. i definately wouldn't recommend buying any of the adjustable arm rear kits on the market.

just get the longer bolt and put as much as washers you want to put to correct the rear camber.

i wouldn't go with aftermarket rear camber kits though, since i've seen several cases where they failed to work after couple of years.

yeah just get the longer bolt, exactly the same material and all and put washers like crazy~

Washer = good as long as you use a proper metric grade bolt (i have 10.9 rated in mine), one thats long enough, and get correctly sized washers (i'm using 3/8" hardened washers).

stock size is M10x1.25 pitch by 45mm long. For me, 2-3 washers that were exactly 1.75mm wide each, corrected for 0.4-0.6 degrees or so. I cant remember exaclty right now, too late to look for my alignment sheet.

People who are willing to put their life on the line for 2-3 washer in their suspension is stupid if you ask me. I rather spend $250 on front and rear camber kits then having $1 washer in the rear.
:werd: and most places u can get a deal when u purchase ur springs to get the camber kit. many kits start now at 150 or so and work up depending on degree or adjustability

What about the fronts? I know you have to buy the camber for the fronts but can I install myself or do I need to get it professionally done?
