To go with adjustable lower ball joints or not

Okay suspension experts.

I need some opinions on whether I should go with adjustable lower front ball joints or just regular ones. I've got pretty much everything torn down and need to replace the lower ones regardless.

Also, any other comments on other suspension mods I should consider. I've already got the following suspension mods.

Comptech springs and sway bars
Tokico Illumina struts

TIA,
Ruf

Ive gone through 2 sets of the SPC ones in a year and a half. They are junk.

Go with Ingalls or OEM

i agree, idk about lower adjustable balljoints, but im on my second set of spc upper balljoints and they smack up on the strut tower way too much causing them damage and then they go bad. i wish i would have gone with the ingalls control arm with balljoints from the beginning. im reading up and alot of people say to go with the ingalls but havent yet confirmed if their are still any problems with the control arm and balljoint hitting the strut tower and bumps.

OEM, also get some Moog endlinks, they are much beefier than stock. Cusco underbody brace is a good cheap suspension mod that helps. Heeltoe is selling a new 4 point underbody brace. Since you're the motor mount guinea pig would you mind being the 4 point brace guinea pig too?

By the way we all appreicate your efforts on the motor mount issue big time.
