Yeah, those.... the way Gunny was talking made it sound like they had a solution that allowed an aftermkt ball joint to be replaced and it was already pressed in...

Don't worry about it. He has problems following conversations covering more than one item at a time.

I said the MazdaTrix ones were the stock replacement. The others were for aftermarket ball joints if they ever make it into production.

Also... since I'm using the hubs from an S5 car do i need S5 ball joints? because if i do there is a note on mazdatrix that says the S5 ball joints only come on the S5 control arms...... and those are really pricey....

They're sexy... but I don't see them solving the two biggest issues with the FC suspension in the front.

No... If you're using S4 control arms than you need S4 joints. hubs/knuckles don't care which series
