I'm getting h&r street coilovers in the mail and looking to remedy the camber issue. Not looking to slam it, may go 1.5" lower max. Would the ingalls be my best solution?

I lowered my 06 Civic EX on HFP first then on Neuspeed Sports. Even with the low drop of the HFP's my rear camber on the original control arms was -2.2 on both sides. I installed the correct rear camber arms (my car had 90,000 miles so I wanted the new bushings instead of just the camber correction) and then did the Ingalls adjusters. I like them and I liked being able to fine tune the camber in the back. If it were up to me I would get the Ingalls adjusters.

I had ingalls sliders on my last setup and it was a sort of love/hate thing.

On one hand, you can have the wheel mounted while adjusting the camber as opposed to taking the wheel off, unbolting the control arm, adjusting, putting the wheel back on, etc. On the other hand, the bolts you have to loosen to adjust the camber are kind of a pain to get to.

I have control arms now that are going on this weekend so we'll see how that goes.

Ingalls sliders are adjustable inner mounts you bolt to the chassis that make the stock arms adjustable. They are great for "set it and forget it". Not something you want to mess with more than once or twice.

The camber arms replace the stock arm and are adjustable themselves like a steering tie-rod..... male and female threaded ends of the arm that can change length.

Camber arms are best for someone who wants:
1) to be able to change the camber from time to time... or mess with it at a track.
2) the cool look of the camber arms

Oh and btw the Ingalls camber adjusters say "not for track use" in the documentation.

I like the Ingalls camber arms. They are easy to use. But if you are a serious track guy or just want the arms because they look cool... then definitely go for the camber arms.

If you don't know why you want the camber arms, then don't spend the money for them.
