Default Looking for place that sells low profile ball joints.

Hey guys I know there has to some place out there that has a low profile upper balljoint for hondas.

I am looking at modifing this

http://www.jhpusa.com/catalog/...acd2e

I am running my CRX in STS2 and also have to us it as daily driver so slaming on the grould to gain neg camber like other EF ST "trailerd" cars isnt possible. I figure if I can find a low pro ball joint I could have it pressed into a second adjuster plate so the clamp bolts wont hinder suspension travel. I could use these Vision arms with the lower ball joint, keep my ride height the same and gain the needed camber.

Any thoughts or links for the ball joints???

Thanx

They have an adjustable balljoint but is uses a large lock nut on the top.

I was wondering if there is a press-in low pro ball joint?

If I remember correctly, Specialty makes an OEM replacement ball joint that looks similar to the one in your photo. Don't know if it will work for your application

No Vision is the only company that seems to make a kit for the EF and DA chassis

The SPC balljoints are the same for the EG DA DC and EF. I've had several sets very low and no problems. I perfer them over the sliding plate style as they tend to move. I used to have a set of the vision ones on my old DA and they like to go -5 camber on pot holes ect

I have set right now f/s for 90 bux in my sig
