Default Did i get shafted on my camber kit???

Well I thought i knew what camber kits look like but after i got mine today im a little dumbfounded. I got a set of SPC front camber kits used off ebay and I thought it would look like the ones in every post on there. So here's the thing, when I got mine to day its like just four little ball looking things with two holes drilled into them and they only adjust +/- 3/4 degrees. Thats not 1-3 degree's is it???? Is the +/- 3/4 degree's basically worthless thats why i got such a deal on them? Sorry no pics but heres the link to my ebay thingy:

Did I just screw myself over?

I thought all camber kits look like this:

i think when the seller said +/- 3/4 degrees that is what they meant.
and ther eare many diff ways to adjust camber. i know of 2-3 other styles of kits off the top of my head. there are low amount of correction ones and ones htat correct a lot more, and they attach at diff places.

i would def stay away from the balljoint method to adjust camber, because not only does it adjust camber, but it also adjusts caster, somehting ytou DONT want to adjust. just get the ingalls style from groupbuycenter.com for like 70 shipped. u can only do the longer bolts/washers on the rear of the car

Well I have a 6th gen so the washer trick wont work at all. Also SPC is supposed to be better than Ingalls so thats why i went for SPC instead. I dont want to spend anymore moeny of a camber kit, I thought i had just gotten lucky too.
