How are the Progress Rear Camber Kits?

I found this on eBay and it seems like a really good deal compared to the Ingalls... Does anyone have this particular kit?
I just wanted to know if it was worth getting...

If its the same as mine...then its only worth about $10...all my rear camber kit consists of are 4 bolts and washers, it worked just fine...but i paid around $120 for the full progress camber kit, front came with bushings.

Whats gonna cost ya is having the alignment...or at least in my small hick town they charge too damn much. /end rant

it kinda seems like false advertisement. most camber kits are going to be the same and on our cars, the control arm is what adjusts the camber... i'm thinking that is for the front and not the rear cause 9.99 is too good to be true. i went on progress's website and they said nothing about a camber kit for our cars so you might want to give them a call. my guess would be that they meant the front and not the rear tho

Just save up and get the SPC camber kits. They are top notch in manufacturing and design. I have them. I had the Ingalls, but I sold those. IMO the SPC are better. Although they may just be overdesigned. Aw hell, who cares! They look good!

They were finicky and I felt that they were too thin. The SPC camber kits are of better quality. That's what I have now.

Yeah, you would. Not as much as for the rear, but you could still use one. I bought mine off of someone on the site for $110. On Group Buy Center they go for around $164. That's shipped.
