EBay Rear camber kit (not the washer ones)
I am in kinda a need of a camber kit and I saw these on Ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...33581
The actual product looks pretty good. There were also OBX ones on there (which I would not let get within 20 ft of my car) and these ones looked MUCH better.
They look very similar to the SSR's
Does anyone have any experience with these?

washers are not acurate enough. I will also be using this for autocross. This way, all I have to do is adjust with a camber gauge, drive, add more or less if I need it, then when finished, drive away with camber in spec.

LOL... you can get very accurate with washers.
Oh and if your adjusting your camber so far out of wack for AUTO-X that you couldn't drive home with it that way... you might want to reconsider

I love my SRRs. Very easy to adjust with two big **** wrenches.

Re: EBay Rear camber kit (asmallsol)
they look pretty good, almost the same design as my specialty rear camber kit very easy install, and quick adjustments with 2 wrenches.

Just remember, your camber changes will be affecting your toe settings. Which will also change handling characteristics.

I've used those before on customer's cars. They are cool and all but kind of pain to make both sides come out even. There's always some adjusting that needs to be done and even with the same amount of turns, it still looks awkward. With washers, at least you know there's a set amount. And if you're worried about your stock bolt being too short, go get some longer M10 x 1.25 bolts from Home Depot and use them with some 9/16" washers.... approx $3 for the entire rear.

Did you adjust them on an alignment rack or did you just eyeball it?

The alignment rack will not fix camber, but it can tell you how much camber you have. Rather than spending the money/time at a tire shop with an alignement machine, I'll eye-ball it on level ground, drive it around for a bit so the suspension settles in, and then eye-ball it again on level ground to determine if there's any more adjustment needed. Then, if I'm really **** or want it "perfect," then I'll take it to an alignment rack but I don't feel that spending $35 is going to really make that much of a difference once it looks good to me. If you have a tape measure, some duct tape, you can do an alignment yourself by taking measurments and rolling the car.
