I wouldn't, some people have without major issues, but I'd still recommend Powertrix over anything eBay. SPL still makes the best suspension parts for our cars, and they're a forum sponsor.

Ok thank you ill check both out i just don't want to break the bank because then i might as well just get powertrix coilovers. And can anyone tell me if fucas and rucas will be enough if i lower it using eibach prokit or tein s springs? Thank you

If you are lowering with a spring kit and not coilovers, you should be fine with a 300degree camber kit up front and the stock rear camber adjustment bolt in the rear. The 300degree kit is a spacer that goes inbetween the stock front upper control arm and the body.

Quoted from 300degree website:

"Relocating the upper link farther outboard from the factory position allows compensation for the additional negative camber shorter springs will cause. This kit is specifically engineered to compensate for EibachTM Pro 0.8" lowering springs but can be installed to compensate for up to 1.5" drop by an alignment specialist. It can also be used to compensate for the sag OEM springs have over time by an alignment specialist."
