1) add a signature with year/model/trim/doors
2) anything over a 1"drop will require a camber kit
3) do some research on your car because I killed the cheap front kit in under a year. The full upper control arm kit has been on my car for over 2 years since.
4) my install cost $400, a little over 3 years ago
5) re-read that last sentence. I think that you said the opposite of what you meant.

what do you mean by that?
did you buy a cheap brand camber kit and it broke on you?

No .... it was the Ingalls offset ball joint. Apparently the 6th gens have very little clearance for this type of camber correction. When I had it on there, I had to grind off the edge of it so it wouldn't hit. A year later, I thought that I had an alignment problem because 1 of my front tires wore off the inner tread. When I had it looked at, we found that the rubber on both front adjustment pieces were dryrotted and falling apart. I did some research and found that Ingalls had experianced this problem and made the control arm version to correct it. So what I thought was an alignment problem became an alignment problem plus replacing parts on to of the 2 new tires.

Like I said earlier, he has to do the research on his car or he might end up spending extra money like I did.
