From what I understand they are better than Moog and less expensive.

I've never heard anything negative about moog, but if these XRFC's are less expensive and equal or better quality then that will probably be the route I will take.

sweet sounds good man, i may be putting a set on here soon, my buddies are going to a bike ralley in south carolina and last year one broke down and he had to rent a uhal box truck to get home, so since i dont have a bike yet ill haul an empty trailer down just incase, but my ball joints are bad so they will definatly need replaced
