Default Ballade Sports 18 pc Uni-Ball Suspension Bushing Kit

Hi Everyone,

We are proud to present the Ballade Sports 18 pc Spherical Uni-Ball Suspension Bushing Kit for the Honda S2000. Ballade Sports strives for excellence in quality engineering and high performance; therefore we have designed a virtually maintenance free suspension bushing kit using the HIGHEST quality "American Made" Spherical Uni-Ball joints for all the Lower Control Arm pivot points along with solid straight Upper Control Arm Bronze bushings. This kit is a must for road race enthusiast looking eliminate alignment deflection and slop from rubber control arm bushings. Until now, no other manufacturer has produced a Spherical kit for the S2000 that is protected from dust and debris. Ballade Sports Uni-Ball Cups use a rubber O ring to keep out contaminants, keeping the Spherical joint clean while on the road. The Upper control arm bushings are made out of Steel/Bronze/Aluminum construction that is press fit and notched with Inner O rings on both ends keeping the bushing maintenance free.


The Front LCA rubber Compliance bushing is replaced with our Large Caster Spherical Uni-ball along with the matching Camber Uni-ball.


The Rear LCA and Toe Arm rubber bushings are also replaced with Uni-ball joints.


Please Note: The Uni-ball joint used for the rear Toe Arm also does double duty as an Anti-Bumpsteer kit to reduce snap over steer.


The Front & Rear Upper Control Arm bushings use our Bronze Straight Bushings replacing the factory rubber.


Due to the lack of alignment advantage, Front and Rear shock bushings are excluded from the use of solid bushings. This allows the user to retain some comfort in suspension travel.


















***Update. Pics of Uni-Ball Bearings installed***

Just as a heads up, the wicked tuning sphericals have been out for about 2 years and if I remember correctly the only ones that don't have boots are the damper mounts.
They look like this



Big for choices though

^Those are retaining clips for the Uni-ball bearings. The o-rings are used to keep dust and debris out of the uni-ball.

Do you sell them individually? If so, how much for the front lower control arms?

Sorry sir, we do not sell the parts individually. This is sold as an entire kit for a limited time.

Did you use some sort of standard bearing so that when the bearings wear out I can get a replacement locally at a bearing supply house?
