Negative camber woes

Whats up guys.

I have Tein S-tech el cheapo lowering springs all around. I have a pretty bad negative camber in the back. I've been searching for camber kits and I found this.

http://www.drivewire.com/Performance...gnmentkit.html

As you can see its only $18. But on the Mazdatrix website (http://www.mazdatrix.com/H6_86-92.HTM) the camber alignment kit is $105, for one. Whats the difference?

I did a lil bit of searching and it looks like I'll only need the mazdatrix camber kit. As per here. ( https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ghlight=camber )

Also, the racing beat camber kit is the same price, any difference? They look about the same.

I'm assuming I don't need coilovers to use this camber kit? I have the stock struts, right now, just have the springs. I really dont wanna spend a lot of money to fix this right now as I plan on getting a fully adjustable sus. setup by the end of this summer.

Comments, Suggestions, Ridicule?

Those Eibach links look like they're for the front.

Edit: I don't think that picture on the site you listed is of the actual part you'd get for your $18. I think this is what the Eibach part actually looks like (note the part number is the same as what's on the link you listed):

The cheap ones are just crazy bolts, that allow them to adjust the camber. the other one have more to them.

The Eibach kit is for the FRONT ONLY. They're complete garbage in my oppinion (and many other peoples). They slip out of place fairly easily and aren't worth the effort, you may as well do it properly and get camber plates to set front end camber. Although camber plates do require coilovers (for the smaller diameter spring).

The $105 Mazdatrix and Racing Beat products are probably exactly the same (Mazdatriz re-sells many RB products, look at the pictures, the parts look identical). The other Mazdatrix one (the one that you can adjust on the car) is a bit better, and easier to use, but once you have it set you're not really going to be changing it again, so it's your call on that one. All of the rear camber adjustment methods work on all spring and shock setups as well as with coilovers.
