Are the buddy club ones any good? How are they on the street? Will they wear out faster than an oem replacement?? I'm worried about durability and drivability on the street.

What's a good LONG TERM solution for this then... rsx tie rod ends and ball joints? I'm getting ready to drop and want to do it right...

I didn't say that wouldn't work long term, just no way in hell they will hold up as long as oem.

Doesn't J's racing make them as well? I mean these are mostly meant to correct bumpsteer, but since that's done by correcting geometry, this will help you with what you want to do

how fast you think theyll wear out? Much noise come from these?

I'm assuming you guys are talking about RCA's???? I've got some Hardrace ones on my car. There won't be any more noise difference since both OEM and these are ball joints so no bushings.

Yeah rca's. Were they hard to install? Do I need to take off the entire knuckle??

Yeah you do, they need to be pressed in. You can rent a press from most auto places, its usually free.
