Default I've never seen this camber kit before ... MRC Camber Kit ... Any good?

eBay of course: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...wItem

I've done a lot of searching and I can't find any info on this kit. I don't even know how it goes on your car. It's really cheap for a front and rear. Is it any good?

polyurethane = squeaking

Front is simply an offset UCA bushing. This will simply push the pivot point further out, reducing negative camber and possibly allowing the UCA to hit the seam between the shock tower and the fender (depending on how much it moves it).

Rear looks to be washers and bolts. Simple, functional reduction of rear negative camber. Only concern would be length and strength of the supplied bolts.

However, for the cars listed that this kit fits, none of them really need to use camber kits, regardless of how much they're dropped. Many of us only use a camber kit that allows the additional of even more negative camber than lowering provided, which this kit doesn't look like it can (certainly in the back, probably in the front).

Even with a 2" drop you wouldn't change camber on a DD?

I daily drive with -4* of front camber on my 2000 GSR.

If I were trying to sell a product, and were a typical ethics-less retailer, I too, would gladly propagate the illusion that camber wears tires. After all, these cars come stock with adjustable toe, but if I can sell an additional part at a nice profit...

Never seen it before either, but I've seen an alignment.

I was looking at this same kit, it just looked almost too cheap to buy but the thing is I really don't wanna spend another 300 on a Skunk2 camber kit. However the general vibe I'm getting here is that you don't need to adjust the camber on an EG. I have an EG hatch which I plan to lower 2.25 i the front and 2 in the back, do I need a camber kit?

Not really, you will need an alignment though.
