    Id run these. They are legal as they don't use a rose joint, its a bush setup. I didn't pass rego with rose joint setup, so avoid them.

    They are a little hard to get out the old ball joints.

    They are about the same cost getting these as replacing the ball joints, also check the arms while you are there for play, when i got my car there was significant play in each arm.

    Madcow, when you installed that kit, and before you connected up the inner tie rod, was there free movement of this arm? ie was the arm able to pivot on the inner bush?

    I didn't actually use that specific one, I used the drift works hicas delete kit which uses the similar setup. I didn't take note how much movement there actually was with my setup. However there would have to be some movement or some weird stuff would happen when it gets compressed.
