Ingalls camber bolt kits?

I have a IX lowered on tanabe gp210 springs 1.5 front 1.0 rear. I wanted to adjust my front camber back out because its eating the inside of my tires. I have this kit and would like some guidance as far as installation, adjustment, anything I'd like to return to stock camber settings. Thanks to anyone who can give me a full explanation on how to etc...

Remove stock bolts, install camber bolts, drive to alignment shop, get an alignment.

Ingalls kits usually come with very detailed instructions. Just follow them step by step.

I was not aware you could, i should have searched. But I got them kits for free anyway. Is there a difference in quality, I can go up +2 degrees on the ingalls, would I even need to go that high?

It your toe-in from lowering that's eating your tires, not the neg camber - set the toe back to 0. If you don't need more than -2deg neg camber just use the stock adjusting bolts.

+1

Doesn't matter which bolts you use. Have them set your toe to +0 and your camber anywhere between -1 and -2 for a daily driver.

andysoo8284 is spot on... I have the exact setup as you (tanabe GF210) and have no problems with my alignment.

Just buy the camber bolts (originally referred to as crash bolts). You only need two of them, and the alignment shop will install them to bring your camber back to stock specifications. They will also fix the toe settings if they are off.

how come you can't bring the alignment back to stock specs with the stock camber bolts, even after you've been lowered?

UPDATE.....
I installed only the ingalls top strut bolt and adjusted the camber all the way out. I lined up the arrow on the head opposite of the tab on the washer like the instructions say and rotated the head over the top towards me 180 degress even with the washer tab and it is perfect on both sides and drives straight...easy install, any questions please ask, all you need is 2 (3/4 wrenches) 1 (5/8 wrench) I needed a cheater bar for initial break and then used my wratcheting wrenches for the rest, torque to 77lbs.
