suspension question

[blacksheep-1]

When I lowerred my 99 I (eventually) added 2 more mods, one was the bumpsteer kit, and the other was the extended front ball joint (both from Steeda) the reason for this is that when lowerred, the roll center of the car ends up below pavement level. Believe me, those 2 mods were WELL worth the money as far as handling. So here's the question, no one that I know of lists the extended ball joint for the 79-93 cars. Is it because the suspension is different and they're not needed, or is it just because there is no market for them?
Also, would anybody out there know how much to saw off of a 93, 2.3 double plug head to get 11.5 to 1 compression?
Thanks.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
PN: 555-8101 fits 94-03 Mustangs. It also fits 87-93 Mustangs that are equipped with the Ford Racing M-2300-K Cobra Brake conversion kit or Baer 13" or 12 " American Sedan Brake kits. It will not work with stock 87-93 brakes because of interference between the rotor and the repositioned control arm.

I would figure that if you upgraded to a 94+ brakes/spindles it might work, but I'm not sure


About the 2.3 question, I don't know, you can search the 2.3L section but it's kinda dead in here all the time.

If you do get it shaved don't forget to readjust the timing

I wonder if some "grinder work" would let it clear, or is it too big of a problem?

From what I have been told, if you mill the 2.3L head down to where it is just below the lowest intake bolt holes, that is about 12:1 compression.

I coulda swore I saw a "long" balljoint kit somewhere for '87-93 cars but maybe I'm wrong.
