I didnt mean to question the quality that has went into these, I was just saying it was more than I was expecting, but it does look like you are getting more than your money's worth.

These couldn't have came about at a better time, I just hope they are for sale soon. The front rubber bushing on my stockers is almost tore all the way out.

Do the spherical joints have grease fittings that are easy to reach?

They don't need to be greased. The bearing is also captured by a snap ring, the bearing itself can be replaced easily. It's a military spec, and is impregnated with lubricant. I've put about 36K miles on a set through 2 winters with no dust sheilds and it's still like new. The bearing itself is common and inexpensive, the expensive part is the machine work for the sleeve and the housing.

Ron you have out done yourself again! I think this is something worthy of saving a few bennies for! Greater traction, no TS, great looking design! Its a winner no doubt sir!

I would much rather spend $400-500 bucks for these LA's than some one piece headlight housings! My only question is there a date/time when these puppies will become available?

They won't.

Ran out of money, I have no backing on it...basically dead in the water.

Even if I did have the money to work on it, I simply don't have any time to work on it anyway.

Sorry for the letdown, but I have other responsibilities to take care of now...I'm probably done racing the car for a long time.
