Default Skunk2 Camber Kits - Ball Joint Information

I was looking into buying a set of these for my car [99 Cx hatch], however, I wanted to know about the ball joints.....specifically, if/when I needed to replace them, how could I.

After getting off the phone with Skunk2, I have this information for you guys:

1). The ball joints used are held in by a C-clip, so they are replaceable.
2). Skunk2 does NOT currently have any of these ball joints in stock and do NOT know when they are going to get some.
3). They do NOT know of an aftermarket replacement, as of yet, and do not know when they will find one.

What does this mean? If you own a set, and need to replace the ball joint, your S.O.L. for the time being. The tech didn't even have a rough guesstimate as to when a replacement would be found.

Note: The lower ball joint from a Honda will NOT work, according to the tech.

its supply and deman, no demand for balljoints so why should skunk2 spend money to produce batches of that ... either way, I think there is a 84 pontica sunbird balljoint that you can fit into the camber kit....

Junk2 does not manufacturer ball joints. I'm 100% sure they buy them from some other company. The question is, who?

I'll be so happy if I can get rid of this crappy camber kit.
