Default PA racing suspension

well that would be easiest since their ball joints are already pressed into the a arms they gave me. so you actually think the PA ball joints are just as good if not better than the steeda?

I'd say the Steeda's are better, but if you want ease of install stick with the PA's.

Are your Steeda ball joints the X2 ball joints? If you're going to significantly lower the car I would take the time to swap over the ball joints.. that is unless the PA racing ball joints have the extended shaft like the x2 do.

I'm going to be doing the same thing... I have a new set of fox body front control arms from QA1 and I'm about to bang out a brand new set of ball joints to put in the x2s.

have you spoken with anyone from PA racing to see if they will actually work in there arms. The front end of my car is quite low and I left the ones that came with the arms in there. Doesn't seem to be any kinda premature wear on them. about six months now

i do have the x2s. I dont care about ease of install, its only about 10 min to change over ball joints. I just want whatever is better. I'll probably give PA a call to see how theirs compare to the stedda's
