I dont think Ebay manufactures camber kits....
I think you'll want to post a link for the product that you saw on Ebay, so we could comment on it

Just spend the money on the name brand ones. its far easier than gambling with a piece of junk thats not going to last.

Okay listen to Boilermaker1, he knows what he is talking about. If you go cheap on them you are taking a gamble. There is a web-site sponsor called Import Auto Performance and that is who I bought my rear camber kit from. The only thing is I bought them thought Ebay from them. Their web-site is a couple of more dollars + shipping. I have had no problems with mine. Here is the link... (Yes they are one of the name brands)

i've seen some really cheap camber kits on ebay but those dont look too bad at all. looks just like an spc but no name brand.

Which is the problem. You don't know exactly what its made out of, how it was welded or how good the welds are, you don't know if the bushing was made with crappy polymer and has air bubbles in it and you don't know if the tolerances are tight. You could be buying a totally useless heap of crap, whereas when you buy the SPC branded one, you're getting something that at least you have some insight as to its durability, if by nothing else, reputation alone and the fact that they have a warranty, its not some jank thing off ebay where you never ever get a hold of the guy who sold it if it breaks.

You're better off putting longer bolts and stacking washers than using the ebay stuff.

I bought mine from the same company and no problems with mine and they got them out pretty quick. I would get them from Import auto again. Good choice.

I purchased this camber kit in question off of ebay. What can I say I guess I am cheap. Anyway looks just like the spc like said before. I do not know who manufacters it but mine appears to be cool. It has been on my car for a month and a half and I have not had any problems with it. Ill just wait and c if I have any problems with it, if I do I will probably just buy the spc.

Why doesn't it work on 7th gens? I know it works on 5th and 6th gens, why not on the 7th gen?

Just curious.

Thanks.

how much do the camber kits usually go for on average? is their a huge difference between spc and the eibach besides the brand itself? Cause i found some spc going for 150 and from what i read this is a decent camber kit instead of the brand ingalls.
