i dont believe the ball joints will do anything for height... they are set to one height or another to acommodate the ride height, not using the joints for height changes. removing the top and bottom isolators from the front and back will give not quite another 1/2"... ut i dont recommend it... personal preference.... and you put your geometry that much farther out then it already is. your call

Steeda's X2 Balljoint changes the geometry on the Mustang by raising the spindle relative to the balljoint pivot-point. Here is a picture of the stock on right and Steeda X2 on the left.


They come with spacer rings to put under the springs if you do not want the car to be any lower than it was before the install of the X2's.

yes, however you are missing the point. the ball joint replacements are not made to change the ride height... yes , the spindle location will be different, as you need to correct that area of the geometric equasion once you are lowered passed a certain point, and the spacers are there to adjust to whatever height your car is currently... they are not there to change ride height, and i dont believe they do... springs drop the height, and once you get low enough the replacement ball joints fix a single problem with going lower, they by themselves, do nothing for ride height, so would not realy do anything for the current issue of not being low enough.
