Camber kits, does brand name matter?
Usually I'm not the kind of guy to go with cheap parts.. but in this case I'm low on cash. Just got rid of my turbo d16 and swapped in a GSR.. so kinda strapped for cash. Anyways, I have H&R Race Springs and Tokico Illumina Shocks. It lowers my EK sedan 2.5" in the front and 2.25" in the rear. The tires went out alot quicker in the front than I expected, even with the toe adjusted to zip. Does brand name really matter in the case of camber kits? I was planning to get genuine Ingalls front/rear kits or Skunk2 front/ingalls rear, but the price difference with the cheap ebay ones is staggering.. is this a part that is "you pay for what you get"? Or is it like a cold air intake, which are basically all the same.. on hondas at least, except for the J's racing.
I'd love to get some answers! Trying to resolve the problem soon, so I can get the ride back on the road again! Thanks alot.

I have the OMNI Power Camber kit. It is the full upper control arm w/ ball joint. It was extremely easy to install and very good quality. I got it from KTeller8 on the board.

Re: Camber kits, does brand name matter? (eL)
Don't use the rear shim kit!! There is a thread on here about how the unthreaded parts of the bolts are too long and tear the subframe. They just sent me a new set of bolts but I don't use them cuz my rear camber isn't bad.
Also, if you car is pretty low, it could dent the shock towers. This can also happen with other brands though...so it's not an OMNI fault thing. Look up the thread Azntaggr just made about it. Oh yeah, throw some lube on the bushings before putting the UCA back on.

I wasn't planning on using the rear shim kit, I was going to get a rear control arm replacement. Yeah, my car is pretty low, 2.5" in the front, 2.25" in the rear.

How bad do you think my camber is on my EK? Degree wise? Would I need the full rear adjustable camber kit (- or + 5 degrees) or just the shim kit (- or + 1.5 degrees)? Lowered 2.25" in the rear.

Personally I would get the rear kit, that is what I will end up with. Yes the shims work, but if you can swing the extra $ then it's worth it to get the right part.
