Blox should be in the same group as ebay, CRAP.

Don't cheap out on your suspension, this is NOT the place to be cheap.

the rear camber kits are pretty safe. not much engineering goes into them. but also camber kits are a little overrated.

^That is true.

The main issue with these cheap camber kits, besides there poor enginering, ball joints, and bushings is they're inability to stay set at setting. Meaning if you hit a bump there is a possibiltily for the arm to slip, changing the camber, as well as the toe.

That is no good. In rear, there is no chance of that happening. This is a front only issue.

There's nothing wrong with Ebay. It's the people/companies that sell on Ebay you have to worry about.

Uh. No. I've been on Ebay since 2000 with over 1000 successful buying transactions. I find that inexperienced Ebay novices are usually the ones that get burned by shady Ebay sellers. Buying something because it says "JDM style" in the description is just asking for trouble. You have to know what you're doing and not just pop onto the seller with the lowest price and free shipping.
Do you honestly think anyone should not purchase anything off of Ebay if they could get a better deal? If you buy, buy name brand and only from sellers with long histories and positive feedback of 99.5% or better.

Ebay is good as long as you buy a reputable brand and the seller.

We are sharing the same thoughts on that. No need to argue on that at all. You said it yourself: "You have to know what you're doing and not just pop onto the seller with the lowest price and free shipping." 90% of the sellers on ebay are selling cheap, low quality and copied product from real manufacturers. You will agree with me that not everything is black and white in the tuning market. And Ebay is mostly one of them.
