Ball Joints!
After extensive research, this is what I've found:
Lower ball joints, front and rear have OEM replacement solutions:
Front- OEM 51230-S2A-000
Rear ('97 Accord Front Lower) 51220-S84-A02
Have we not yet found a suitable OEM replacement upper ball joint for our car? We know they are replaceable (SPC etc.). What about those of us that want Factory replacement without paying $150/$60 per arm?
Anyone have any ideas? It shouldn't cost $150 to replace a bad ball joint, that's insanity.
Thanks in advance!

Maybe not necessarily OEM, but at least OEM replacement type. I would take a ball joint by moog, or any other reputable third party that was decently priced and usable. Nothing guys?

You think that's bad: My TRX700XX costs over 800 to replace 4 fronts, WHOLESALE. Retail is over 1K. 
They're part of the front a-arms and the whole arms have to be replaced. In that regard, Honda FTL...
