ehhh not really sure, I installed the Coilovers and camber kit at the same time and adjusted camber myself to get it somewhat straight before i brought it to a shop. I had rubbing issues with the rear of the car so i still have negative camber in the back as we speak.

i have the ingalls front and rear camber kit w/17's, its the best kit i've seen so far, not sure how much my camber was off but to solve the rubbing in the back just get a dremel and hack off the inside of the fender and on the front cut out the black plastic and roll up the screw tabs. should eliminate most rubbing but with good camber your always gonna rub a little.

Why the Skunk2's over the other brands?

It was a hard decision, but between the Progress Group and Skunk2 they have they are on alot more race cars than Ingalls or other brands. Taz Harvey and his partner if I remember right run Skunk2 front camber kits.

I use the SPC (Specialty Product Company) control arm camber kit. In my opinion its better that Ingalls 'cause its easier to adjust for camber and caster. I also use an SPC rear camber kit. The front is good all the way up to 3.5 deg. The rear is good all thru 5 deg.
There is slight fault with the front kit though. If you lower your car more that 3 inches, the camber adjusting screw will touch the upper pillow shock mount. You can easily solve this by buying a smaller screw or grind off a little of the upper shock mount. On a 96-00 Honda Civic, you'll see a factory notch already made on the rear pillow shock mounts. Other than that the kit is very user friendly.
