Moonface Discontinued... Searching...

I'm in the hunt for the best option in an extended ball joint.
Any recommendations would be appreciated. On my STI, I went through running the junk Whiteline product and don't want to do that again.
Moonface discontinued.

I have been beating on the whitelines for years. So far so good.

There was a time, perhaps five + years ago when a major seller of Whiteline parts recommended that I not buy hardly anything that they offered for my track STI. In particular, the ball joints and sway bars. He said manufacturing was going to China on a lot of their parts. Perhaps they corrected the issues.

Yesterday I bought the Buddy Club ball joints. I got a good deal at lightningmotorsports.com. $174.99 + $9 shipping.

Considering all the broken Whiteline endlinks had on this car its probably not corrected lol

Snapped Whiteline rear endlinks on a stock bar always make me chuckle... some how the OEM ones don't snap nearly as often

I could see the potential of any rod end snapping on the rear end link if not adjusted properly. If you lower and don't have short enough links, the sway bar can hit the bottom of the chassis.
