Exactly, world of free enterprise, nothing ventured nothing gained.
Maybe using CCs pics was tacky but everyone has the right to go make a buck

But the REAL question is why he used them.

Makes it look like he never managed to pull it off successfully himself.

I didn't know you had to do something in order to sell it.

Look at politicians, for example. They don't know how to "the right thing". But, they sure know how to sell it.

I've seen this done quite a bit in "other car" worlds. A "certain" car out there has very simple camber correction just using washers...sure enough there were kits on ebay for 25.00 that were a few washers and some longer bolts. They were "adjustable" too...just remove some washers!

Best thing to learn is, the next time there's a simple tech tip...get your ebay account ready.

Those have been on e-bay for several years, not a couple, not a few; but several years.

Thanks for posting this, BC. I was considering grabbing this kit for my runners until I scored some SLPs. If I ever do want to fix my OEM runners, I will go to Mcmaster's.

well then, they've had plenty of time to take and develop their own pictures huh.....lest they've never performed this actual job.....

Does anyone use a "film' camera anymore?

surely a guy selling a kt that they came up with on their own and a technique for using said kit from their own experience...surely a person like that would have an opportunity to point their cell phone and snap their own pic.....

And if you see CC's original thread..it came from 2006...

Wait, so your not supposed to stuff the ***** in and let them run through the engine? I thought that would open up my heads with out the costly price of porting!
