I'm sorry if I sounded offensive in any way, english is not my first language and I guess i expressed myself rather rude or something. All i want to know, is how the top nut sercure itself in place. Im looking at the OEM ones for 70 eur a piece or these, which have replaceable ball joints and I wonder if I should go with these or the OEM ones. The price with shipping will be the same, only the fact that I can replace ball joints feels like a lot more for the same price. Sorry again if you felt that my comment was rude or something, I surely didn't want it to sound like it is.

Ok so here's the deal, i installed these with the help of my buddy evolander on here and i would say they do need alittle massaging to get them on. first off the ends that attach to the inner fender walls need to be bent alittle to get them in, it seems the press in joints on these are pressed to far in, so we just bent the inner walls on the fenders, bingo right in there , next is the ball joint itself it also seems like the taper is alittle to big to go into the knuckles if you use the supplied washers, to get the cotter pins in, so we just said screw the washers and got the cotter pins in,
for camber adjustment is good i believe i got about -3 degrees (iphone ap) and didn't mess with the castor adjustment, i forgot to take pictures on them install but i will do tomorrow,
so in my conclusion,, you kinda get what you pay for. i bet the spcs fit like a glove, but these will do the trick
now i guess is to see how they actually last and hold up on the road. but for $100 bucks you cant really go wrong.

you shouldn't have to bend it in to far, the ends where it mounts to the inner fender, you'll see once you get the stock one out, but i bend the opening maybe 1/2 inch and also i wasn't able to use the washer with the ball joint, if so the cotter pin would not slide in, and depending on the coilovers you have on you car you might have to drop the lower arms to get clearance off the knuckle.
it was maybe a hour to do both sides, just make sure you tighten that top nut as tight as you can so it doesn't move when lowered back down.
you can pm me if you have any issues
