I don't know if I would call it ****ing bullshit.

ebay charges the seller a percentage of the final bid price.

So, if you were an ebay seller, you'd want to sell something for $1 and charge $99 for shipping & handling. Then you'd pay ebay a percentage of $1.

As long as sellers list the S&H, I'm OK with it. Just add it to your bid amount to know how much you will pay.

Sorry, nothing to say about the camber kit....

Oh, OK, camber kit.....

This is actually how I ended up joining this Forum: I had just placed the Tokico HP Performance suspension kit on my 98 GS-R. [Having driven a couple weeks now, I wish I had done it 50k miles ago. :doh: ]

Anyway, my speed shop showed me the alignment results, and voila, too much negative camber. And guess what, they were willing to sell me a Skunk2 camber kit with installation.

I did the search, and I think it was MrFatBooty who indicated that negative camber, by itself, is no big deal. Toe problems cause abnormal tire wear.

So no camber kit for me.

Anyway, do a search on camber kit, and maybe you will end up with a different conclusion....

well i have researched about camber kits and reallizes that my setup of springs and shocks at least so i have heard would not give abnormal tire wear and i do have the toe set so that my car does not pull or anything like that but i was still interested in if anyone had purchased a camber kit like this off of EBAY and how it worked out for them so anyways that is the kind of info i was looking for. If anyone has this camber kit i would like to know if not thanks anyways and drive4show thanks for the reply

Look, I bought my camber kit off of ebay and paid $85 shipped for the from, I had an ingalls kit on another car and it looked the exact same. It works perfect. Now, to the comment about negative camber, yes a 'little' negative camber won't hurt, but if your lowered, and you race you WILL burn te inside of the tire MUCH faster than just riding around, camber kits help keep a straighter wheel and flatter contact patch on lowered vehicle, saying you don't need one sounds like you don't want to spend $$$ on maximizing tire life.

I had one on my fronts but before that i went through 3 sets of tires in 9 months. YIKES. They help out. I don't know jack about the ones you listed and I think its also BS to charge $22 to ship them. Ebay actually has a rule about excessive S/H charges. You can report it to them. I have been buying and selling on ebay since 10/99 and have a 300 positive feedback rating. I also remember my camber kit (which i bought from ebay) was $8 to ship. Look around....
