Hmmm, I guess suspension geometry with regards to these ball joints is not a hot topic these days?

we have been doing this for the last 8 months and the sig records the results
Stock arms modified allows 3"+ drop to be corrected with included bump steer correction tierod ends. ![]() ![]() before installation ![]() or our full race arms (increase in NVH as all bearings are now metal). These are track, camber, castor, roll center, and antidive adjustable.

depends wether you care about lap times or looks.
if you're out to maximize the performance of your car, then the answer is a most definite yes.
