Steeda Ball joint kit
Hey Guys... So after installing my new Bilsteins shocks & struts on my 01 Gt, I gained 1/2 an inch of height up front and want to lower it back to how it was before the install.. will these help with that? some customers on the american muscle site claim they gained another 1/2 inch drop with these... if any of you guys have any experience with these please help me out.
Thanks!

Are your springs linear rating up front? Cut a 1/4 coil... You won't even notice a difference in the ride quality by cutting that little...
The ball joints SHOULD lower you .5" if you don't install the spacers.. Sometimes it looks like a .5" drop, other times it looks like a .1-.25" drop... So i would go the cheap way and cut 1/4 coil... WHICH IS NOT MUCH AT ALL. NOT ENOUGH TO MESS ANYTHING UP
I am going to be installing some stock cobra bilsteins soon. I am going to need to shed off another 1/4 coil, bringing me to a full coil up front (which the front rides awesome for aftermarket cut linear springs...)
Trust me, cut the front if they are linear!

I have no idea if they are linear or not.. I bought them 8 years ago from summit racing. They are made by a company called Intrax
