Will Oem ball joints work with skunk2/blox upper control arms??

I can only use OEM ball joints because the one's that come with the aftermarket skunk2/blox are prone to crap out in a few months in the HARSE enviorment of upper NY. I like the aftermarket UCA because you can get a awesome allignment over stock UCA's.

Anyone have any idea im trying to figure out if i got to get all OEM ball joint/UCA or i can mix the 2 its going on a 98 coupe with civic type R suspenssion

No, the skunk2 joints clearly have plates and locking bolts and oem joints do not.

What is your definition of an "awesome alignment"? Unless you're super slammed, you can safely use OEM upper control arms and just have the toe adjusted when the car is aligned, and your tires will be fine.

Toe wears tires quickly, NOT negative camber.
