I have PERSONALLY been down this road. Please please please spare yourself the wasted money, scary maneuvering and nearly impossible to properly align experience of ordering the j's racing rear 2 armed camber kits.
I had them...the car felt squirrely as heck from day one...turns out, the bushings are total crap. Car didn't feel stable again until I swapped out to NOTHING...and eventually spent the scratch on getting the SPC upper 1 armed camber kit. That's the way to go, IMO. Bring top of wheel OUT not bottom of wheel IN.
The front adjustable control arm, i swapped to ingalls for peace of mind, but the jpower one did hold up just fine. After seeing the failure in quality on the rear though, I didn't want anything "jpower" on my car anymore.

Initially, they sent me 1 wrong endlink and the ebay seller was good and sent the correct one. A year later I sent them this image of the how the bushings now looked and I basically got a "you're SOL" from them.

Rockstar, our arms look different than yours. They might be in the same position though with bushing quality. I had the jpower arms on my car for a few months, then switched to SPC (long story). Driving on both for that short amount of time both brands felt exactly the same while driving.
I can't say much about long term quality, but I do know some 8th gen accord guys have been running them for a while problem free. I would be cautious though because they are pretty cheap, and that usually means something.

Long Story.... Do tell, please... Cause the more research I do, and the more gear head and mechanic friends I talk to, the more I'm leaning to trying the (rear) J-Power camber kit out. My fronts are fine how they are... Please, do tell!

^ The reason for me switching to SPC turned out to be unrelated to the arms. It had to do with my alignment (caster) being terrible and causing bad bump steer when going on the freeway. So I replaced my jpower with SPC before I knew the real reason for my problems.

True, forgot this wasn't for 3G. 
Hey, go for it, good luck. I promise you that prior to that, I was the guy saying it's a piece of metal, don't pay for brand name. I won't compromise on something so crucial for predictable handling though. Just me.

Yes. He sold them because he has a mangina and now owns a 370z.
Would it be too expensive to have new bushings pressed into these arms? I just want to be on the safe side even though they look fine and were only mounted on OP's car.

So, I went with the SPC camber kit, can't beat the LIFETIME WARRANTY. Got them installed aligned my whip and it feels nice. Picked up a bit of acceleration I and kept some camber in the front. Pics soon!
