WTB: Buddy Club extended ball joints

Any chance someone has these? I've been looking on the internet to buy some but can't find them anywhere. Perhaps they are discontinued. But if anybody has some that they bought and never installed, I'll buy them. Also, if anybody knows if these actually lower the car I would like to know. I'm hoping to correct my suspension geometry and maybe ride a half inch lower.

I'm sure there's a lot out there, here's one at a shop near me.

I don't think they'd do anything with height, I think they just lower the side of the arm nearest to the wheel in hopes to return the suspension to the center of gravity or whatever that you lose when lowering. It's only 1/2" longer than the stock joints;

Thanks for the link. I'm aware that if it did anything with height, it would be very minimal. But in theory, it should push the spindle up and closer to the fender. I've already installed 5" Swift Springs in the front and taken collars out, and I'm about 2 cm from the lip of the wheel being right at the fender, this is kind of my last hope to close that small gap. Also correcting my suspension geometry at the same time would be nice, because I'm sure it's pretty far from spec . I'll call that store to double check that they actually have them, thanks.

the lower ball joint has NOTHING, to do with ride height. The lower control arm moves so it wont move the spindle anywhere.
