Default need advice on balljoints!!!

Hello guys. I just received today a set of ford racing front lower control arms for my 97 GT this are the control arms that comes on the 03'-04' cobras, it already came with the balljoints installed but I bought a set of steeda X2 balljoints before thinking it didn't come with balljoints. The questions is should I leave the cobra balljoints or should I put on the steeda ones? Is there any big difference between these two. Thanks in advance for the help...

Dude, its a balljoint. Youre not going to get any "extra" performance from it.

I know i'm not gonna get any extra power from it but since I lowered my car with sportlines may be one is better than the other one for this purpose, that'sthe only thing am asking.

If you lowered your car, go w/ the X2's, since they're designed around the fact that you lowered your car.. Besides, you won't be able to get a spot-on alignment using factory balljoints, designed for stock ride height..

Plus, if you have a machine shop near you, it may cost $10 a piece to have them pressed in, if you have no way of getting a balljoint press..
