Front Camber for 2004 sedan...need help deciding which one to buy

Looking for a camber for the front. Tired of tires going bald on the inside every 10k miles.
I found one on ebay brand new for $150 shipped (link below). Doesnt really say the name of the brand. Should i buy this one? or a different one? and how hard is it to install?? THanks

because you dont want anything to happen to the things that are between your car and the wheels supporting it..... you really want your wheels to come off at highway speeds?

ebay + mod = fail

buy the SPC camber kit.

btw, use the search button... this question comes up almost everyday

SPC or just burn the tires.

Would you trust your car on the cheapest brakes and brakes lines in existence?

no i wouldnt trust my car with the cheapest brakes, better brakes are made out of better material.
When it comes to camber are the expensive ones made out of better material? some of them look the same, Im trying to figure out the difference. between the $150 one to the $300.
I cant believe camber is so expensive for these cars, its ridiculous ! stillen sells theres for 850 !! holly cow. spc for $400 ! they are way too overpriced. A good camber kit shouldnt be more than $200.

^process of making them probably isn't as good. Might have flaws in the build and cause them to crack. Lots of little things could go wrong, or nothing at all.

I would rather spend the money once on the right stuff then spend it twice on the wrong.

i see what you are saying. I might have to buy SPC or ichiba. What do you think about ichiba? and how long will it take to install at home?

Ichiba is a great company, I've never dealt with their camber kits though. Everything else they make is top notch though.

Depends on your knowledge of suspension parts, anywhere from an hour aside to 2 hours. If you know what you're doing it's pretty quick, but take into consideration you probably don't have a lift. If you had a lift, it's a breeze. Which is why I have my custom guy the majority of my work, I'm just not in the mood to jack it up ever.
