2008 GT-500 suspension upgrade question/ball joint kit
Ok, i have my car in the shop having a front and rear coilover suspension installed (rear not a true coilover, but has height adj, damper/rebound ability), and front and rear swaybars. I already had lowers, an adj. upper, and adj. panhard bar. I am going to have them install a bumpsteer kit, but i am having a hard time deciding or getting anyone to really say that a balljoint kit is needed. Most say it can't hurt? I want the car lowered to look great, but also be a great performer on the street. Anyone that can help explain why or why not i should go with the BJ kit would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I asked lethal performance the same question. They told me that after market A arms won't work with the steeda ball joints. I have the Ford FR3 suspension package including everything you mentioned and they said fords stuff was created to work with factory geometry and ball joints weren't needed.

Not sure i understand. I have the stock A arms. I don't think the FR3 kit allows for height adjustment does it? I guess the real question is how low can you go without having to use a ball joint kit. I want it low, but not slammed.

Ya'll get too technical. I have over 50k miles on her and race the crap outta her. I have frpp struts, shocks and springs. LCAs, relocation brackets, and adj panhard bar. That's all with NO problems or complaints.

I'm down in the Tidewater area. I saw your car pictures racing at VMP. You have a great looking car, and impressive times as well. I am only at 518 rwhp at present and working the suspension issues. After that i'll do headers, TB, and a retune, and should be able to put down a decent track run.
