    Are they worth the extra money, and will they hold up on the street ?

    I liked the idea so much that I have a set on the way. I have Global West Dela-Lum bushings and they helped my car respond qiute abit. These ball joints just make sense because they let the entire front suspension move fee and easily witch will lead to quicker 60' times. Afco says street driving is no problems. The trick is to get the bushings and ball joints loose as possible so the springs and shocks can do what they are designed to do without dragging the other parts with a bunch of friction.

    Just my .02 but I can wrap my mind around the entire concept. Plus they !don't cost MUCH!
    My car is heavy enough up front as it is, I'm just trying to combat that.

    These ball joints show up on lots of Stock and Superstockers

    I read the same about them. I'm going to give them a try, mine are worn out anyway. Hopefully they hold up to street driving.

    I figure none of us drive their cars everyday so what the hell. I'll keep an eye on mine just as I am sure you will yours. Good luck!
