rx7 rear camber kit

Ok so i got myself a mazda trix rear camber kit like so


so i was talking to a buddy of mine and he told me that its not a good idea because it moves the driveshaft, so then i looked on the site and i found these



which i was told is the better one but i didn't know about this kit until now! i thought picture 1 was the only kit for it, because racing beat makes the same thing.

so i have three questions

1) is this kit save to use?
2) should i use?
3) how does one install it?
i didn't get any instrustions for it so i am not sure which ends go to which side. thanks for your help!

The first one moves the driveshaft slightly b/c it adjusts camber by moving the front of the rear subframe up or down slightly, but the difference to the driveshaft is negligible unless you go for -5* in back or more. The front of the rear diff is the only bit mounted to the subframe; the rear is to the chassis, making the difference even smaller.

However, the second pair you show is the better buy since you can adjust each side independently instead of both at once to better match the two sides. It doesnt matter which one goes on which side, just that the black end is bolted onto the inside pivot point of the rear A-arm and the gold end is bolted onto the chassis. This is replacing the dogbone link that is there stock; its a metal piece on S4's and plastic on S5's. Theres no reason why its not safe to use, most of the load from the swing arm does not pass through it anyway so theres little chance of it breaking (which is why mazda could use plastic on the S5's).

If you dont want to use them, sell them to me :D
