I bought the shocks new at 300 and the springs used for 125. I do plan on getting coilovers maybe and that is when I'll get the megans but for now I'll just run the ebay ball joints.

Alight so im back to EBAY. So with the washers how thick you talking, also does the diameter have to be more or less then the LCA races, are they suppose to fit inside?

Pics would be dope if you got some

Thanks

Once you take the LCA off you will see what I'm talking about but the washers fit in the circle the castle nut is supposed to rest on. I'll try to get a good pic soon.

Thanks, but if you were me and planing on keeping the car for awhile and kinda had the money but hate to spend it, would you still just do the ebay + energy boot or would you bite down and buy the OEM knuckles?

Theory_EK thanks for your posts.
I will be lowered on BC coils (not slammed but a mild-to-moderate low ride height) would you recommend still the eBay joints /w Energy boots, or go with the Megan joints?
I was about to install the coils + camber arms/kits + endlinks on the weekend but realized there was something messed with my lower ball joints, I make a metal-to-metal clunking sound when I brake on a hill or at slow speeds, and when I jacked my car up, seems like the ball joints on both sides are loose.

I'm stuck right now. No way I'm paying $500 for the knuckle at the stealership plus labour charge.
I had the garage install the MTC ball joint with the Energy Suspension boot last week, so far everything is fine.
