Hows it goin guys.. I am looking for a rear camber kit for my ek and I was wondering if anyone has ever used the ones off of ebay? Should I go with a name brand such as omni? Or will I be ok with any brand? Thanks alot..
SPC makes a good kit for EK, as does ingalls. The difference between these and other 'one-off' brands out there is that the ingalls and spc have better bushing construction.
You can get a pair of the SPC for less than $100

When was the last time you had an alignment done? Zero toe will help solve that problemo.

Agreed. I'm running -4.0* front camber on my 00 GSR, without showing any signs of abnormal or accelerated tire wear in the last 7k miles. My weekend car has gone 10k miles with -4.75* rear camber on the drive wheels, without any signs of increased, uneven, or accelerated wear on the rear tires. Both cars have had the toe set to 0.

Rear camber should be either .5 - 1.5* neg.
Don't be a ricer, get a camber kit.

If you've already got the alignment, just keep an eye on your tire wear. Most likely you will need a camber kit if your drop is more than 1". Zero toe is only as good as the road conditions from which it withstands. One good bump can (and usually does) affect your alignment. And, as mentioned by Tunernoob, it becomes a BIG problem with agressive camber settings.

That's where my $100, 3 year, unlimited alignment at TiresPlus comes in handy.
I get an alignment at least once ever two months.
