Has anyone deat with baller bolts recently? Twice I have tried to purchase bolt kits from them and both times my money was returned to my bank account a few days after ordering. I have sent several emails attempting to contact them over the past month with zero response. No one else seems to make bolt kits like them so Id very much so like to order these bolts but I can't seem to get in contact with them.

I've read through those threads and it seems most people in the threads are defending baller bolts saying hey are slow but dependable.

I never heard of a scam returning your money

baller bolts did make some sales and come through in the first couple months of business. However, they did not anticipate the business and well washed out. I have heard they take extremely long or so long you never get them lol. Baller bolts is not a good business and there for should have their site removed. In my opinion, SPL eccentric lock out kit is great and decently cheap. I know for half the price of a full complete set of spl can get you the full set of Baller bolts but in the long run why waste time and money.

The same hardware can be ordered from other retailers, and most likely for cheaper. All that guy charged money for was sourcing the hardware for you and then selling it at multiple-times what it cost him to buy. Whether the huge up-mark is worth being able to buy it in pre-pieced kits is up to the buyer's discretion, I suppose.

People also buy into the misconception that titanium hardware is super strong, while in reality it is weaker than 8.8 strength steel bolts. In fact, it is more comparable in strength to stainless steel, which is about as strong as your average senior in a nursing home.

Not to mention mating stainless steel or titanium to regular steel or aluminum parts is a bad idea, if you look up galvanic corrosion.
Anyone who sells you stainless or titanium hardware without mentioning that it will make your car rust to death much faster is a real jerk.

I personally was more interested in their suspension bolt kits than their dress up kits. I'm currently replacing everything on the subframe and it would be nice to put in fresh new bolts while I'm at it
