Camber Kits $ vs $$$

Hey Everyone,

I'm in the process of doing some suspension work on my 2004 Coupe (auto) (fenders rolled)

So far

Varrstoen ES1
19x9.5, 255/35/19
19x10.5, 275/35/19

What I'm contemplating on buying...
Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC coilovers

My question is when I get the coilovers installed, I plan to have front and rear camber kits also installed. I look on Ebay and there are front camber kits priced around $100, rear camber kits priced around $100, then you have SPL or Eibach kits costing triple. Should I splurge more on the actual coilovers or besides the obvious fact of quality of materials used, should I spend the same amount on a camber kit as I will do on my coilovers?

Thanks for any help you can give me...

Some camber kits are known to break and some don't adjust much with positive camber. The general consensus is that SPL and SPC (most recent version) are the top brands regarding reliability and adjustments. Naturally they are the more expensive as well. I haven't researched in many of the brands so I would suggest doing so.

What Herrschaft said. Buy SPC front and rear camber kits and be done with it.
SPC rear camber kit with toe bolts is cheap. Buy it. You will regret it if you don't.
SPC front camber kit is expensive, comparatively. If you cannot afford it, get Kinetix front camber kit, or another name brand front camber kit.

+1 on what others have said. Go with the SPC kits. They work fine and won't break the bank.

Just got my coils installed with the SPC rear camber + bolt. It was able to 0 out everything which is nice. Looking at the construction of it, seems solid too. Longevity is still up in the air, but everything seems A-OK with it so far.

I've bought parts off EBay numerous times without issue. It's really up to you to do the research. You can totally tell which sellers are selling genuine parts.

Just use common sense and look at what the sellers all about...
