ebay front camber kit?

Hey guys I am on tein s techs and in the front I noticed my tires are balding on the inside. I didn't think I would need a camber kit but I guess I do now. I already got an alignment as well. Do any of you guys have any input on the cheaper e bay front camber kits? Many of them range from 20-40 bucks. Thanks for you're help!

I bought this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/90-91...item483b38ea45

You have adjustments to correct either .75 degrees or 1.75 degrees. I put these on my car and installed them to correct up to 1.75 degrees.

THIS IS WHERE I HAD A PROBLEM (sorry for the caps):

These bushings shoot the upper control arm outwards. Therefore when I went to lower the jack after installing these my fender didn't clear the upper control arm, it just sat on it. I haven't messed with trying to install the bushings on the .75 degree correction only because i wanted a bigger correction.

Today i ordered some Tein pillow ball mounts, so let's see where that gets me.

I am lowered about 3 inches so that may have something to do with the clearances and what not. If you want that bushing kit off me feel more than free to take it.

Did you get the alignment after you noticed the tire problem? Were they able to align the car to spec? If you're at spec after the alignment, it seems you shouldn't need the camber kit - right?

Some shops only adjust toe, not camber because you need a kit (more $$ for parts/labor). That's how we do it at the shop i work at. But that's only if there's no way to adjust camber besides those options.

I got an alignment the day I got my springs put on but then I got another one because after like 2 days the springs lower a tad more I heard and I noticed I was getting camber wear so I got another one for 85 bones now I have to get ANOTHER one after I get the kit put on. I wish the washer trick worked for the front too....lol
