It would be nice for you to elaborate Dustin_Pierce if you have info that would be helpful.

Obviously its a ebay product which means shitty quality most likely.

Any buyers have any feedback or reviews? im interested also. Looking for a cheap pair for a one time use track day for my integra.

I would say that not everything on ebay is bad. Ive made some good power with a header i bought on there. Also I did a comparison between the Rhino brand and Revo and the same chineese company makes them both in the same factory and on the same day ships them out to revo and rhino. They are the same kit and same quality. Rhino is 50-60 dollars and revo is like 150-225 dollars. That what i mean about ebay items vs real items. I think this should help you

they were junk, I think I actually bent one during an auto-x. both ball joints lasted at most 3,000 miles before they had tons of play and were clunking. one fit ok and the other needed clearance with a hammer to the upper seam on the frame.

I have these installed on both my eg and my CRX (which I haven't driven yet) The rhino control arms are modified stock arms with a ball joint plate welded in and reinforced. The ball joint boots are crap and will dry rot in a month or so, so to prevent that from being an issue I bought the Energy Suspension ball joint dust boots for under 10 dollars. When I installed the ES boots I realized that Rhino dosen't bother to grease the ball joint before shipping and they leave that up to you. So if anybody else had ball joint failures it might be due to the fact that the joints werent greased. On the CRX application the metal seam hidden up under the splash gaurd will need to be slighty grinded or bashed in with a hammer to make clearance for the extra material that was added to these arms for the ball joint plate. I drive my eg pretty aggresive on the backroads and have'nt had any problems with them other than the ball joint boots and lack of grease. They have never slipped on me either. Just set your camber, lower the car, check the camber, raise the car back up and give the allen screws a final tightening and the plate will not slip on you. Good upper control arms for the price, just buy the dust boots also. Just tell everyone you have skunk2 arms, and they'll never know...unless they are working on your car.

I bought the rhino camber kit and they are crap, they dont have a perfect fit and they broke when i was installing them. They are very weak, believe me. I returned them and bought skunk2.

i just got this kit in the mail and the only instructions say "PLEASE GREASE BEFORE INSTALLING ONTO VEHICLE." Do they come with OEM boots or no? Oh, and where can I get instructions to install myself? I'd like to install them within the next few days, but if not, I can wait and I'll have a technician install them. Thanks!

I used them actually did a full write up on them a year or 2 back ago on the EF the rhino require to notch a lil in the upper fender point and on the ears where the rubber bushings go. Took lil work but still have them and using them. I did replace the hardware with 10.9 stuff which I would say is a must. Haven't had an issue with them. However this was back when the Skunk2 weren't available. I would spend the extra $150 for piece of mind, warranty and the name and no work needed

wow, now they come with instructions saying to grease them, and they only took 2 years to figure that one out 2 years ago mine came with no such instructions, I would have never thought I had to grease a "New" ball joint

I've read many threads about this. I've always concluded from the posts that skunk2 has the best set. I bought Revo's for my car before coming to this conclusion and they've served me just fine about a year and a half later. People generally like the skunk2's over the revo's because of ball joint issues with the revo set.
