I don't see anything in there that makes them 'adjustable' other than the stack of washers for the rear and you can do that yourself.

You get what you pay for is always a good motto.

 

Don't get them, knockoffs are cheap. It's worth it to get name brand things in this case.

 

I agree with the responses here. Spend the extra money and do it right the first time. Better than saving a few bucks initially and having it fail on you, replace it with what you should have gotten then getting an alignment.

 

Long bolt & washer kits are fine for the rear, but you can replicate the same thing at any hardware store.

For the front I would go with skunk2 upper control arms or SPC sliding ball joints.

And why the hell do people think eBay is the best place to shop for car parts?

 

Cause some of us are cheap and some of us are poor college students, while some like me are both

I know skunk2 is a reputable brand, but it's kind of expensive. Is there anything for the cost-conscious (cheap) out there?

 

You can get a pair of SPC sliding ball joints (part number 67135) for the front from NOPI for $78.72 a pop. That's like 45 bucks cheaper than what the skunk2 front kit goes for. For the rear you can make do with longer upper control arm bolts and washers placed between the control arm and the body. It's called shimming and most alignment shops will have the hardware on hand to do it for you, although I would of course suggest calling ahead and asking about it.

 

Thanks MrFatbooty, I think I'll pick those up.

 

Just to be painfully obvious, you do have to order 2.

 

erm... for OEM specs, which am I suppose to pick up? (-3/4° to +1°) or (+1.25° to 3°)? I'm assuming the former, but just to be sure...
