Default ebay camber kit, is it ok to use?

I am looking to get these kind of camber kit, but it from ebay, so I don't know if it worth the try. Here are the two links I am thinking of, one is just for the front, the second is for front and back.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BLUE-...Q5fAccessories

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-97...Q5fAccessories

what do you guys think?

Thanks

yeah, I did look into those ball joints one, but for sure its will not last long on my car since the frame and the control arm banging each other often on my car lol. I guess I'll get the ebay one, hope it will last. Thanks for the input

Dont buy ebay junk. The rubber in the bushings is terrible, I know I had ebay camber kit for my civic and they fell apart. There is a reason it is so cheap.

also adding a camber kit will only make the banging worse since it takes away clearance

Yes, adding the camber will make the banging worst, but I'll try to grind down a bit on the control arm and see if it help any. Banging noises are still better than replacing tires once every couple of months lol. I'll look around for some more

have you gotten a alignement? if so do you get custom settings all around??

if you dont, set the toe to zero all around and skip the camber kit all together

Running on 215/45/17, I don't know how low it is but it only fit one finger, the pinkie one lol...To be exact, my camber wasn't so bad the past three years until I just changed the upper control arm, that's when my camber go crazy.
