The springs, right? I installed those on a 2001 civic for a girl with kyb agx shocks. It was a good setup for the cost, but I think the tokico kit illumina kit with their springs was better. Still waiting to try the groundcontrol & koni's.

Just to clarify something. There is no aftermarket, or performance company called "JDM." This is merly a marketing strategy that has been beaten to death. JDM is OEM Honda. And you might want to stop using ebay until you learn a bit more about the parts your considering.
hey i am just asking i didnt buy it yet and i have plenty of experience on ebay i know what not to buy i was just asking so what is a good camber brand

Ebay itself is not the issue. It's the crappy vendors with nothing more than $$ in there eyes. Lot's of research and testing goes into development of a quality part. If you goto ebay and type in "camber kit" your going to get page after page of parts marketed with JDM, Type r, or some other catch phrase. If you type in "turbo", you will get a few hundred so-called complete kits which IMO, aren't even worthy of using for a leaf blower. If you type in "tein", chances are you will get cheap universal springs spray painted John Deer Green.

I was not implying that you aren't experienced with ebay. Just do research elsewhere and decide which particular part, and brand you are interested in before buying. And be sure it really came from that company. Look for watermarks, or signs of conterfit. It's a shame that all this extensive research is involved in buying something. Thats just the drawback of a free, unregulated market combined with gullable americans. Pesonally, I use ebay as a possibility. If they don't carry exactally what I am looking for, I buy it elsewhere instead of taking the next best thing.

Now for the camber kit. If you stick with a Skunk2, Omni, or another known brand you can't go wrong.
