Like title says, are there pros/cons to certain style camber kits? I see ingalls has a anchor style camber kit but im leaning more towards spc balljoint style. It seems like an easier way to adjust camber.Thanks in advance.
 
The ingalls style and the balljoint styles will smash your inner fender well, limiting suspension travel.
The eccentric kits, or shortening the arms themselves are the only way I know of to gain negative camber without interference of some kind.

Incidentally, the eccentric kits are both the most inexpensive and the most difficult to get a shop to set up properly. I still have an SPC set on my shelf for when I have to say goodbye to my SPC forged arms. That day is near since there are zero balljoint replacement left - you can bet I'll be using the eccentric style over anchor or balljoint style when that happens.

p.s. I generally don't believe people when they say they have no issues. You'd be surprised at just how oblivious or uninterested people are. I can't get anyone else I know to listen to that "creak" or "tapping" or what-have-you. They just plain "don't hear it".

Especially if they are not used to performance exhaust, makes suspension noise difficult to pick up.

Good call, I forget that the vast majority of us have rather loud machines - or at least not quiet.
Stock exhaust ftw!
 
Eccentric bolts should not be hard at all. Off hand... many subies come from the factory with those installed.

Find a better shop if yours doesn't do those. Even performance shop alignments are not that expensive, ant the come out perfect to less than .01 degree on any setting.
 
I just used a larger bump-stop on my front struts to prevent the nut on top of the ball joint from hitting the inner fender well. Works fine so far...
 
Stay away from the adjustable ball joints. They are awful, no amount of exhaust noise or anything will cover up how cringeworthy it is when your control arm bottoms out, you can literally feel it through your whole body every time. It also forces you to drive incredibly slowly because even minor cracks in the road causes it to bottom out.

I went through this on a gst lowered on the tokico spring/strut package with ingalls adjustable ball joints. I lasted about a month on the adjustables because I was too busy to replace them with stock balljoints, but I really dreaded driving the car because it was so horrible.
 
Ok thanks guys what is the best brand/where should I buy these eccentric bolt kits?
