How about the uppers, do you have anything in the works for them as well?

I'm in need of uppers as well.

Nothing in the pipeline for the uppers at this time, sorry.

Just want to say these bushings are sweet, well packaged, and a great idea. I have 4 sets sitting at my shop, cant wait to have tight ball joints.

Update on ball removal from outer ring. Special thanks to 'stopdropanroll' for coming up with an alternative to using a cut off wheel. You can also use a press/vice to remove the ball portion of your ball joint. I tried this in my garage this afternoon:

I used a 40 ton press and they slide out like butta!

I have updated the site to reflect some developments regarding the Ball joint kits. the changes read as follows:

There is the possibility that you will need to add shim between the bottom ring and the c-clip due to manufacturing variations of the OEM control arms. The c-clip groove depth varies enough that some installers have a difficult time re-inserting the C-clip and others can add 0.020" of shim to keep it tight. Some customers have successfully used aluminum beverage cans or even just regular shim stock. Alternately, we are offering a copper shim pack containing 2 each of 0.005", 0.010" and 0.020" shims at our cost of $12 per pack. We are offering these as an option to keep the cost of the kit down and to allow the DIY'ers the chance to save the $12.

I have emails out to all my previous customers to see if they need a shim pack, at no charge. New customers will have to decide if they can make their own or would rather buy some at the same time.

These things are heading all over the northern hemisphere guys! We've sent some to Norway and Sweden.
