I have the 5.7 reamer I got a set from China... And I bought a new set of cups just cause the other ones were beat to death because I put several of them on backwards (totally skipped that part of the manual).
Just cant decide whether I want Ti studs or not, probably overkill..
If you wanna use it LMK

my guess. Not until early next year

See WC this is exactly why people on this forum have a hard time with you. You make it sound like nobody should have issues with them thier just putting them on wrong period.
You can say what you want but you gotta get better at how you word things.
Maybe you can learn from this Just sayin

WC, I don't think there is anything wrong with the ball cups. They are the best I have used. I have yet to pop one off and I drive my car like it is in the circus.

With that said, people, myself included, are in fact having binding issues with them. Which I believe is because of the extremely tight clearances (which is a welcome improvement) and if you install them with more pressure on one side, the cup will distort.

My kit ball eyelets were perfect from the start, probably put 1,000 laps on them with no binding. I bought a replacement pack, and they were very tight. So I can say from personal experience that not all eyelets were created equal

Good luck with the binding issues.

normally I give a crap less about Ti screws....But we have a rust issue locally, so I can drop weight and keep the rust at bay. Lets hope the screws dont suck, lol.
