Steeda X-2 ball Joint?

[scupking]

My car is currently at ford, I'm having them put on an aluminum drive shaft, HPS Hawk breaks, X-2 ball joints and Steeda bump steer kit. They just called me and asked if I wanted them to use the spacer with the ball joint kit. The guy working on my car has a mustang that he has done a lot of mods to. Now Steedas instructions say you can use the spacer or leave it off for another .5" drop. Pat recommended leaving it off giving the car a more raked look. He also said it should handle better. He then said he has to take the dust shield off as recommending by Steeda. Also he has the drive shaft installed and he used my current yoke but he said it’s a close fit and he thinks I might get excessive vibrations but he won't no till he puts the car back on the ground and gets some weight on the wheels. I guess I’m just worried my front will be to low after he is done with the x-2 kit. What do you guys think?

You should be okay with the B springs. Keep the isolators though.

Trust me I’m keeping everything. He’s going to put all my old parts in my trunk. I think it will probably look good with a 1.5" drop in the front and a 1.1" in the back. Then when I get fat tires out back it will give it that old school look. I don’t think I will be getting an S/C this year. I tell you this mod bug hurts my wallet .

I installed mine without the spacer, definately looks good with the bigger drop in the front.

I meant keep the isolators on the car. Not have them put in the trunk.

I thought only the discontinued FRPP ball joints came with the spacers. Are we saying that the Steeda X2 versions come with the spacers as well? If so, it doesn't show that in their catalog on line. I have the Eibach Sportline springs on my car and if I install these ball joints, I will definitely need these spacers.
