These are only for the front. The rear is totally different.

Most people don't need offset or adjustable ball joints in the rear. The stock adjusters offer around -3 degrees of camber. You can also get more negative camber with a bump steer kit due to its adjustable length.

I thought I would post a few comparison pics between this and J's.





Well... the J's is used for about one season, so keep that in mind.

Looks like the hard race ones might be a tad bit taller by just a few mm so you might actually have some roll center correction out of them.

I ended up getting a set of new in box J's S1 joints from someone not using them so I saved a little money. I was really happy with the J's L1 joints I had on my first s2000 and even those I got used.

Dave, what kind of climate is the car driven in? Even as a daily mine never showed any rust.

Hmm... mine might see the road from time to time, but is far from a DD. I live in KY, so we get all kinds of weather here. I'm the 1st admit that I am not skeerd to drive it in any kinda weather. With it only having summer tires, I do try to avoid snow, but I wouldn't say that I was able to completely avoid salty roads.

So the j's joint broken or the boot just mangled from removal?

^It's not really mangled. It's going to squish down like that when you install them and it's not going to pop back up on it's own when you remove them.
