I have seen the following items on ebay, and am somewhat interested, but would like some of your opinions as to if you think they are good products, or if they would be good mods to make on my car.1. Adjustable Camber Plates. I am lowering my car (probably with Eibach Sportlines, and Tokico Blues)

2. Crossdrilled Slotted Rotors. They looked kinda good, but I don't know. I need new brakes, and want some that look nice.

3. OBX Coilovers. Have any of you ever heard of them. It says they give a 0-4in. drop, and some other stuff.

Please tell me what you think about all of this before I go blow my money on crap.

Thanks.

Try to find out through talking to him or other people if he's a bull****er. Then decide, the parts sound nice.

They are alll through different sellers. I just was searching for parts, and saw all of those, and were thinking they all sounded nice, and reasonably priced, but usually those are the things you have to watch out for.

Why would you buy spring and coilovers? OBX is one of those companies like APC that makes products that are for show use rather than getting pushed really hard.

you can get SOME things form ebay taht are good but mostly are crap. the only thing OBX makes good is strut bars! other than that, i HEARD that they make good short shifter.. but I don't know I just heard... with companies like that.. you pay for what you get! you pay $150+ for coiovers... then that is what you are going to get... POS and you will waist $150+ .. my 0.02

I have heard (mostly on this board) very bad things about OBX coilovers. Same goes for not name rotors.. dont trust your life to cheap stuff to save $$

Just check the sellers stats, as long as they have a good history you shouldnt have a problem, just make sure what you are buying is good stuff and know what it should be doing. My car is built off of ebay parts.

1. Depends on how low you are going. If you are not doing a major drop you could get away with eccentric (sp?) bolts. PDM sells them.2. If you are looking to save money and just need new pads just change the pads.3. Yeah you can get a 4 in drop out of them but they are for show only. I would not want to drive around with them. I have seen guys jack their car up and drop it to the ground when they show up at a event. They know they will be gone if they drive like that.

I run a 4 inch if not 4+ on my car. I have camber plates but they haven't been installed yet (I am busy).

Try http://www.pdm-racing.com it is a good site. I think I am going to pick up some sways from Don.

What about the OBX short shifters on ebay, are they worth anything? Theyre going for like 80 bucks
