i've been reading several articles regarding their effect on performance, and our chassis and suspension systems have been noted for having inferior quality ball joints... I'm hoping someone changes them out and notes the effects for us

Steeda x5 balljoints ftw. Thats what I changed to. The install was not that hard as long as you have a balljoint press tool. I did not... So I had to call my friends until I found someone with one. I am unaware of the advantages because I did bumpsteer kit, and swaybars at the same time. But they raise the roll center quite a bit by looking at the difference between both ball joints.

Rides like ****.

Look at my sig. I do not know how shocks/struts will help me out but that might be next for the suspension. It doesn't bother me that much because im young but it defenitly needs some work.
