Looks like I installed them in April of 2021, so 90,000 miles ago. Maybe I got my money's worth?

Me over here looking at beefier options when my Whiteline adjustable ball joints have like 2,000 miles on them

Someone know if this site is legit ?

It's legit. I got my Spoon Wipers from them along with the full zero bump steer kit (ball joint with tie rods)

I just ordered my spoon ball joints. I'll install them when I install my whiteline ALK, that way I can get an alignment with both parts added.

Isn't this how most mods happen....

Well Im not looking for more camber I just want some heavy duty for my use. My tech told me some ajustable one can be more pain in the ass to make the alignment and more chance one of the nuts can became slack. I'm also listening all proposition if you tell me you didnt have any problem with the whiteline I might conseder those with the 20% deal until tomorow I think.

How long are you running those and do you daily it?

Because here road are trash in quebec and my oem did pretty 6.5 years until I got slack and my car did 5 years winter and salt.

I know I am not driving an SI and I am a bit late.

I have the Whiteline kit, have about 7-8k miles on them, including one week long trip to the tail of the dragon, 3 track days, and all street miles were spirited. All done on 200TW tires.

Out of concern, I consistently check them to make sure they aren't slipping, and to make sure the nuts haven't come loose.

They get my seal of approval and recommendation.

You will see a big difference with the ALK !

I might try the Spoon Zero Bump Steer Kit (51220-FK7-010) for $370. Has anyone used these or heard any reviews yet?

Save yourself some money and order from Japan. rhdjapan nengun blackhawk.
Many people have misconceptions on shipping costs from Japan. They are like $170 from Japan. Even if it’s $60 shipping $230>$370

A couple if us just ordered from Blackhawk. Great pricing, even with shipping. Can't wait to try these out.

Just got word my Spoon ball joints shipped. Should get them on the 1st of April. It did take a while like people were saying, but the lower cost makes up for it.

If I'm understanding correctly this bump steer kit is to correct geometry for significantly lowered vehicles. Looks like you're on eibach pro kit which is a mild 1" drop. Isn't that not enough to warrant these and the geometry will be out of whack? Or will it work just fine?

I covered this in one of my earlier posts. I'm looking for something more durable, and without slots for adjustment. I'll measure bump steer with my stock joints and again with these to see if there is much difference from the ball joints alone. May not be much difference without the tie rods they sell as a compliment the joints. Either way, I'll push these and see what happens, but I do agree with your thoughts since I have a mild drop.
