Is this a good kit for the price?
I was looking at this kit on ebay to do when I put in some new struts, shocks and H R lowering springs. I just wanted to know if anyone else has bought it or one like it from ebay and had any feedback on quality.

I have gotten parts from this seller on ebay but not the kit, check out the individual parts from this seller and mix and match with rockauto.com(dont forget shipping is extra on rockauto the moog front control arms ship from the uk so price compare with shipping)
Mazda Ford Volvo Rear Upper Control Suspension Adjustable Gold Camber Arm Kit | eBay
I got the front end suspension (sway bar links/bushings,control arms and inner outer tie rods) from Rockauto and 70% of the rear from this ebay seller very happy with the service and quality.
also I would highly recommend going with the adjustable rear control arm
Thermo has a great right up on this.

I did the same thing.
I also replaced the busing part numbers C2546380 and C2514740
and the inner and outer tie rods as one of my inners was bad.
shop around for your parts.
I will admit the bushings were a pain to change as i did it with the arms still on the car and on my driveway. used threaded rod , some sockets and some pipe fittings to press them in/out. 2"close nipple and a 1/2-3/4 reducer for the smaller one, a socket 1 5/8 i think and ball joint press i loaned from autozone for the larger one.
I did get all the parts from rockauto and what the didnt have from ebay and i think i got the bushings from Amazon but cant remember.
use lots of penetrating oil and let it soak in for a week or so and remember to torque the rear bolts with the car sitting on its wheels your parts store can loan you a torque wrench if you dont have one.
Its quite easy to do actually just take your time and do one corner at a time and be safe use jack stands. while your under the car may as well do fluid changes. I did contemplate painting the suspension parts before putting them on wish i had now but got lazy.
Stay safe as I hear there are tornado's up your way.
