Nuts. Velocityshop will not be getting them in for 5 weeks. I need this part asap as there is a track day coming up on 4/30. What other ordering options are there for the hardrace or J's part?
here is a local sale for the j's racing version + roll center plate:

So, i received my J's balljoints. What a rip off, but what are you going to do....

They are the blue ones without the extra yellow plate. They did not come with bolts. Do you reuse the existing bolts or are mine just missing the bolts?

I would think they'd come with new bolts. did you buy new?

Also, if all you ordered was the camber joint then all your supposed to get is the blue piece. The yellow piece is what makes that joint a roll center adjuster camber joint. If you paid for a roll center adjuster you got ripped off otherwise you got what you were supposed to get.

and if you're not happy I might be interested in taking the camber joints off your hands.

Thanks. these are new, and i got what i asked for. They are simply expensive for what they are, but the knock off version was not available. Hence the bitching about them being a rip off. Which they are.

Is there any way around this? I'm running 17x9 +35 in front, so does that mean its impossible to run SBC joints?

You won't have a problem. +35 is more than 1" further away from the upper A-arms than +63.

I have +63 17x9.5 wheels with the SPC joint and get a small amount of rubbing on the control arm at full lock. And that's with -3deg of camber.
