    shouldnt have to modify the part for the bolt to fit considering the the company and the price tag they sell them at

    I felt a difference with my K-Tuned ball joints compared to the stock ones. On Eibach Pro-Kit springs which give a mild 1"-1.3" drop all around my car, I experienced bump steer issues with the front end on bumps/uneven surfaces. After I installed the roll center adjusters it went away. Highly recommend.
    There is a company called Aerogenics that makes just the spacers for the factory ball joint. Much cheaper alternative although if the ball joints are worn the K-Tuned ones are great.

    It’s not a major issue to do what you did, but at the same time I don’t feel like having to modify the part after I buy it. I may stay away from these roll center adjusters then.

      I actually just got in contact with Ktuned recently and they claim that they corrected the issue a few weeks after production, so I may have received an early produced model. If you order directly from them, you should get the revised version. I on the other hand had ordered from a 3rd party website

    Looks like you can use the RSX extended ball joints for the Prelude. I wonder how well that setup would work the the Type SH suspension with the double ball joint from the radius rods.
