at the regular sites i've been using to order things, i've found an ingalls front kit for $49.68, an spc front kit for $18.08, and an ingalls rear kit for $167.10....

i'd like to go for that spc one for 18 bucks for the front just because from what i can see, the front camber kits for this car are not a very complex piece of equipment...

i dunno..

i think you have that reversed. the front camber kit replaces the control arm. the rear can either use just washers, or its just a bar-looking piece.

You and me both.

Chris, I know its a different application, but I have the Ignalls front camber kit on my Teg, and compared to the rear without a camber kit, the wear is way less. Ignalls makes some good stuff. I plan on getting the full Omnipower setup though, which will include camber kits and rear LCA. The Ignalls replaces the a-arm, and the Omni one is like the Skunk2 and replaces the upper control arm, so I'll use both on the front.
