Kudos for the bump steer kit, and control arms. The "adjustable" sway bar is a total joke IMO. I had one and sold it before I even put it on the car after getting a good look at it.

Good luck with the control arm install can be a PITA!

When you put lowering springs in a car, you are also changing the steering geometry along with the suspension geometry. Adding a bumpsteer kit allows you to dial the steering back so that your tires won't try to turn a bit when your suspension travels (i.e. prevents a bump from steering your car).

You'll like the bumpsteer kit but you should go with the X2 ball joints too.

Plus when you trash your tie rod ends when removing them off the spindle you'll need to replace them anyway. This is why I replaced mine. Figured it would be easier to align the car and correct the steering geometry also.

if they were a bolt in instead of needing to be pressed in, i would have picked those up to.
