Ball joint question...

I need new ball joints for my em2.
At this web site http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/se...h=2002%20Honda
they have three choices.
A. Moog 73.67 for a pair.

Then there is a company called Mevotech with them for 57.51 each

Finally my question.... the final product listed is by Sankei and are 18.95 each! and compare the photos to moog

very similar. Am i going to lose alot of quality by cheeping out on ball joints?
I just can't seem to buy a 73 dollar ball joint when i can get almost the same one for 18!
Please help if you have the info on this. is sankei like some POS company? like ebay style?

Sorry if someone has brought this up before i tried searching this topic but with no luck.

Thank you all for any help.

Also my car is lowered about two inches. If this makes any difference.

Please don't go cheap on ball joints !!! Moog are top quality. Definitely go with them. I just installed ball joints on mine and I used TRW's.
