Although I haven't bought the Ingalls kit yet, I have done quite a bit of research on it because I am also contemplating the install. With your Prokit springs, you have a drop of 1.2 inches in the front and 1 inch in the rear which will equate to about a 1+- negative camber for your car. If you look at the ingalls web site, they show a rear kit part#3893 which is basically a longer grade 8 bolt than what we have on our cars now, and some spacer washers. All that for $13.50 per wheel is a bit pricey. You could probably go to a specialty fastener place and buy a grade 8 bolt and some spacer washers for a fraction of the price. Just pull out the bolt that holds the rear upper control arm to the body of the car and bring it with you to the fastener shop and get the same thread pitch but just a longer bolt. The other option for the rear is the replacement arm part# 3890, but since your only correcting for only about 1+-degrees camber, the cheapest solution is to just to opt for the shimming route. Keeping in mind that in the ingalls kit, they only recomment shimming as far as 0.75 degrees. I suppose for those people who have adjustable coil-overs, they might want to consider the 3890 route due to the greater flexibility to accomodate their different height adjustments.
The front kit part# 3570 looks like a good fit for your rex. I had looked at the front kit at a local shop and it looks like a good quality product. They both look pretty easy to install as well. My only reason for hesitating for getting the ingalls camber kit is that my wheels have an offset of 38, and the tires are 195/50/15 and it has been lowered about 2 inches, so if i correct for about a 2 degrees, the tires may rub. Damn it, I didn't know better at the time but I should have bought a 45 or 42 offset wheel. Oh well. My mistake. By the way George, seeing that you have your MSD installed, do you really notice anything different in your car? Just wanted to keep it in mind, just in case I ever had any ignition problems and may need to do some replacements or upgrades. Thanks.
