So did we every find out what the best replacement boot would be for these ball joints. I just got mine in and would rather replace the boots before installing. also for those that removed the entire knuckle, how difficult was this

Not hard at all, about 15 minutes worth of work.

Just installed my new ball joints. Be careful when putting them in bc I broke two of them. I also went with new ball joint boots which fit perfect. They were the 13009 from energy suspension. I will post pics later

^ One reason I'd actually the ball joint is that when you get to the ball joint, you'll see that the years of driving has actually changed the shape/orientation of the joint. Mine, for example, was no longer pointing upright but at an angle "naturally" from the weight of the car pressing on it for years.

About those Moonface joints...
I'm looking to get them but I've heard that they only REALLY benefit those who have lowered their car 30mm or more but I'm NOT looking to lower my car too much as I need the ground clearance for a bit of daily driving and just want a more durable ball joint than stock.
FYI, I'm looking at getting Buddy Club Racing Spec coilovers so that'd drop my car a bit, along with the camber, toe arms and replacing most of the stock bushings.
