Help me with this st00pit camber kit!

Long story short ..

Took the Del Sol in for an alignment today. Knew that it had some negative camber issues, but I didn't realize how bad they were. Shop called me, said they zeroed out the toe -- but that the front passenger side has -3 degrees of camber, and the front driver side has -4 degrees.

So, needless to say, I need to get a camber kit.

Skunk2 seems to be the consensus for a good camber kit on the Del Sol. See link for image/info, and LOL at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/SKUNK2-ADJUSTA...3084987&sr=1-1

However, I'm not looking for anything fancy. The Del Sol is a daily driver, and that's it. So, in looking for an alternate, I came across this SPC 'adjustable anchor bolt camber kit'. It costs $95, whereas the Skunk2 costs $200. See links:
http://www.advancespeedshop.com/spc-...5-p-12251.html

Now, understand that I've never put a camber kit on anything in my life -- but even my eyeballs are capable of seeing that those two kits use completely different components.

So my question is -- since the SPC is half the price of the Skunk2, will that be okay to run? Or are the components of the SPC equating to doing a 'half ass' job, and the Skunk2 would be the wiser investment?

Thanks!

i've actually seen the skunk camber arms slip at the adjustment point before
SPC is a good company and those would work well

It probably needs control arms along with some other bushings
