At 250 a pair we can only guess. Until someone makes an affordable US built correction spindle your stuck with the over seas stuff or spending the money on a reliable set up.

And btw rod all my US stuff was made in Mexico. : P

There have been some people that have used it and been please. Others feel it doesn't make the correct changes and that it's a rip off of the ATS tall spindles which are now sold through SpeedTech. I've also heard good and bad things about CCP in general. I have no dog in this fight. All I can recommend is do not buy based on price alone. Understand what you're purchasing or how to achieve your goal for the car. This will save money in the long run and produce a better car.

Another option for you on C5 brakes alone is Kore3. I have their hybrid C5/6 kit on my TA. It's a great kit and Tobin's customer service is the best I've ever encountered. I realize it's only a brake kit but you have plenty of suspension options separate from a brake package as well.

Welcome to the site.
