Default Camber kit

Well ive read alot of mixed reviews... some say they are great, others say they suck.. get name brand.. and just wondering what everyone on here has to say. Have you ever used ebay camber kits? I really dont want to spend $350+ for a skunk2 one or something. This looked ok for $150. Keep flaming to a minamum hahaha

I have a 1992 eg. Lowered about 2" on coilovers.

Thanks everyone. Heres a link to the ones i was thinking about picking up.

Not quite sure where the hell my post went. So lets try this again.

Why do you want camber kits?

Ebay products are junk, skunk2 isn't really much better.

If you can't buy the proper, quality parts then don't buy anything. Your going to cause your self headaches down the road.

You do know camber kits are not needed right?

If you're only lowered 2 inches you really don't need camber kits. Unless you're adding camber for autocross. I would guess your camber would be ~1.5 on front and ~1.3 on the rear. I'm a tad lower than that and I'm 1.8 front and 1.6 rear. Provided all of your bushings are in decent shape.

You're throwing money down the toilet and making your car handle worse by asking a mechanic to set your camber to 0 because he said you should.
