    That's a shame if it does cost that much, even for those of us "Tour de Desert"/Beach folks () I would much prefer to invest a little ching for a much more durable end product (a mild lift is something I'd like to do in the future). But as you said if it costs that much you may as well keep cycling through OEM crap.

    Ascinder is 100% right. But rather than a negative, I see the moving of the balls as evening the wear throughout the tulip fitting (I found out today that tulip is the technical term for what we call the cup). What can I say, I am a silver lining kind of guy.
    But having the CVs at those angles should be alright for me, my driving style is very slow and methodical, its why I have done so well on the trails, my throttle is very sensitive. I attribute my throttle control skills to years of playing console video games

    What exactly is it that will be upgraded about these CV's? The cage itself was the only weak spot on the OEM CV's that I experienced. How do they increase the quality of the cage? Just make it thicker?

    Probably the use of better/stronger metal alloys...just guessing though. They may also know of a better way to design them to eliminate/strengthen weak spots.
