Chevy camber kit

hi guys
In your parts for sale here is such a thing.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHEVY...item3a47e44b06
I was warned that on EBAY a lot of scams. These crooks are selling a lot of useless things. Therefore, I ask you. Appropriateness to buy this set?
Thanks in advance for any information. I'm waiting for a response from the users of this thing in the first place - I am interested in operating experience.

Why do you feel you need that?

If a valid reason exists (like suspension damage) it shouldn't be needed.

I know in the Cobalt forums keep saying to use the camber kit when you really lower your ride a lot. I don't know if it is true or not.

I need to align the wheels.
This is a simple procedure. For the specialist, equipped with modern facilities, it is not difficult.
But my HHR brought experts puzzled. I went to several specialists and they refused to align my wheels.
Firstly, Russia is not easy to find equipment that can measure the parameters of the wheels HHR (in my country HHR is Autoexotics).
Second. Matching wheel alignment on the HHR is made through the expansion of holes in the attachment of shock absorbers. For Russia, this technology is amazing. I do not believe it at first. But they showed me instructions on agreement wheel alignment. This statement is contained in a camber stand computer.
Naturally, waving a file - it's not that twist the nuts. This is a more laborious process, it is the higher cost. The specialist told me: "I just will not do that even for big money."
That's why I want to buy this set.

camber kits

Hi guys. I'm a 30+yr ASE mechanic and do A LOT of alignment work for maintaince, performance mods and collision repair. Those kits do work fine but really should be adjusted during the alignment process. the one thing I don't know about is the 1.75deg limit that kit gives: it may not get the really lowered car back to the angle it needs to be at. One mistake some guys make is excessive neg-camber to gain better cornering. This works with Better tires, a lowered stance and the BIGGEST swaybar you and use! Specialty Products makes or sells the best alignment correction parts including wedge shims to correct the rear of our cars! On last note I have ck'd 11 GM cars with less than 6000 miles on 3 different Hunter esp700 machines....all had the ft tires toe adjustment set about .5deg toeout from spec! I'd be interested to hear from any other members who think their first set of tires wore out a little early....thanks Phil

A set of those were included in my GoldLines years ago. From what I know, you don't need them unless you lower your vehicle.

Hi guys. Hi fatphil.
Thank you for what you will not stay indifferent.
There is another Problem with the front wheels.
Some time ago I replaced the tires. Found on the typical damage to the tread - the wheels are out of alignment.
Computer equipment has confirmed my hunch - the right front wheel just forward of the left front wheel. The difference is 3 millimeters.
to tell - my car was in an accident. Hit it right front of the car, including suspension.
I installed new: Lower cntrl arm Right; soft ride Right; soft ride Left
; Knuckle Right; Gear assy Ls.
Engine Cradle has no damage. Power components of car bodies are not damaged. What is the reason the curves of wheels? Perhaps the blame
STABILIZER BAR? I assume that he could bend a little in consequence of stroke.
What else?

Since your car was in an accident, that may be the issue causing a bend in the strut tower. I am no professional mechanic, but Im guessing a camber kit may be the best solution for that. But make sure the camber is needing adjustment though, toe-in is a more common cause of tire wear.
