Help!

After a few weeks of waitng to put on my shocks/springs/camber kit i just got a call from the place doing it saying that half of the stuff i brought them was wrong, it didnt fit. I had the springs on my car before so those are fine, with the camber kit they said that the rear would not work, junsure about the front. Something wlse was also mentioned about the shocks, going to find out more when i go pick my car up.
Here are the items i bought off ebay
camber kit

Shocks (i belive on the box the numbers were bu3714 and bu2896)

I thought these would work?

Ok, went ti pick up my car and here is what they said. The back camber kit would not work at all, and the front didnt look like it would fit either. As for the shocks they said that they looked like they would match up, however they were shorter than the stock ones. Im gonna goto a local import shop and see what they say about the camber kit.

it depends if you have a 2.2, 2.3, or a 3.0 it should fit except if you have a 3.0. if you do, then you've bought the wrong one.

What do you mean they said it looked like it shouldn't fit? They didn't even try or what? I have a feeling these guys are idiots

ive got a 2.2 and i took a look when i got home and the rear is completly different, also when i got too looking into the instructions that came with the kit, the instructions dont cover the right part number for my car. The instructions for the front do cover the correct part number that i need. When i talked to the guy he said that the rear was completly wrong and the front most likely wouldent work either. I'm going to e mail suspension max and also ake my car somewhere elso for a diffrent opinion.

Watchou OUT on those stuff on EBAY!! sometimes they give u the wrong info... and just for your information the 90-93 accords are NOT THE SAME as the 94-97 accords..... therefore.. the info on Ebay is WRONG!!! tell the guy that and see if he would give you a refund....

I got an OBX crankpulley that saids 90-97 accords... and it didn't fit on my 2.2 either... it went on perfectly on my friends 91 accord..

well, the part number wont even fit a 90-93 accord for the rear. The instructions i got were for the part numbers for a 90-93 integra 94-00 integra and a 92-95del sol and 96-00 civic...not even close to a cl. I emailed the company, and if i need to ill give them a call to try and get the correct kit. I just have this sudden urge to start hiting various items with a baseball bat.

Well, after countless emails, the company rep determined that i had the wrong rear camber kit (no fuckin shit). Even though its past the time allowed for an exchange they agreed to exchange it anyway. As for the front the rep said that all hondas and acuras use the same anchor bolts.
