Hey guys well when i was working on grinding down the Factory spindle last night to accept the Dual Piston brake upgrade. I noticed that my ball joints are shot. I need new ones pretty bad. So i am looking and it seems that since they have to be pressed in and i will have the Lower control arm off. I might as well upgrade the springs while i am in there when i am doing all this along with the New Calipers and all. I would love to do a whole K member setup but i don't know if i can justify spending 750 bucks for everything i will need right now. I was thinking of just doing the Steeda X2 ball joints along with new springs while i have the A arm off. Does anyone have any suggestions on which ones i should use. Any good or bad ???

You could just buy complete lower control arms brand new from Ford with them already pressed in.

Not really too keen on raising up the car more then it already is... and only 10% less in the steering reduction I think the X2 ball joints would be stronger then a factory product cobra arm ball joint....

if you get the cobras, you can replace them with the X2s to lower it a little... from what ive read on this site.. :p

For the money situation i will probably just order a Set of X2's and do my Dual piston brakes and try to do the springs while i am down there..... Although people are saying that a coil over system is a world of difference. So i am kinda in a tustle about what to do :(

lol. just think if you had them you could adjust your front ride height just about any time you want, just as long as you adjust your cc plates to compensate.
