Default j's camer joint vs. buddy club camber joint

Has anyone tried buddy club camber joint and also j's racing camber joint that can give me some imput on the quality of both.
I know j;s racing camber joint are good but are they that much better then buddy club, is it worth the buck?

I doubt it. Buddy club makes some good stuff. I don't run either though, just Buddy club coilovers with about 80k miles on them issue free. I suspect a camber joint would be fine and your just paying for a name. my 02

If you're looking for offset camber joints without roll center adjustment, your best choices are J's and Hardrace.

The Buddy CIub balljoints have integral roll center adjuster plates.

I'm just just looking for whatever I need to fit 17x10 38 and have good performance on the track my fried rob.ok recommend it... He has j's racing camber joints but I don't have the kind of money he does so I am looking for something of the same characteristics and quality but a little cheaper in price.

I have the buddyclub rca. running 17x9 +35 and it gave me back shock travel resulting in better dampening and sharper then expected lines. So i have to adjust and get used to em. Couldnt be happier. But these aren't on the cheap side, 323+tax and shipping.. I think the megan ones are in the 150 range.

Used to chat with him on here a good bit talking about track prep and such. Seems like he fell off the radar a few years ago.
