Many people make camber plates within your budget, but be careful you get one compatible with OE dampers/springs. It looks like the Velox ones I linked utilize the OE spring perch and may be compatible, however I do not have any experience with them so you'll have to research their reviews.

But really, if they've failed you twice already and demand you buy a set instead of the particular part you need to replace maybe it's time to try out something else? I mean imagine if it happens a third time (for your sake let's hope it doesn't if you choose to buy again) that's a new set of coilover right there not to mention that arm and leg worth of labor you mentioned. flex Z is just about 200 more from your price range but it gives you a peace of mind knowing you got them brand new. Just remember if it keeps breaking you need to try something else 👍

Buying another set of Hotchkis plates is definitely not my favored plan after they failed me once already. I've been doing some research and talking to people based on your guys' suggestions and right now I think I've boiled it down to two options: 1) RaceComp camber plates that give about the same camber and caster as the Hotchkis ones and look well-engineered for slightly less money or 2) buy a set of coilovers and save on labor by installing it myself with the help of a friend who's offered to help me. I'm going to think over it on the weekend. Thanks for the advice and replies.
