Well if you're building a race car, go with the Steeda X2. They will give you correct geometry if lowered. They're supposed work with foxes with sn95 spindles, I'd contact steeda to make sure.

You can run your Stock Ball Joints but just need a Spacer.

The stock ball joints need a 0.330" spacer if you go that route.

The BEST ball joints are simple - Either
o **FORD** sn95
or
o The NEW **FORD** Fox ball joints that do NOT have the grease fitting. (the ones that are used on the FRPP Fox FCAs)

Both are the BEST ball joints you can get. Both are low friction and after ~200K miles of use, show "no signs of wear" (hence, the elimination of the zerk fitting and the wear indicator).

Note: The X2 ball joints are the OLD style ball joints and have more friction and faster wear.

If you go with a Fox ball joint, you will *need* a spacer. Many people use this:

If you want, use 2 one each spindle. One IS fine, but it is "close" to running out of threads. So, if you want, use 2 on each spindle and don't worry, bitch, or start another worthless thread about the difference between that spacer width and the one that comes with the FRPP M2300K kit.

Many people, including me, have bought stuff from Breeze. They often ship in a few days.

excellent. i'll drop by the dealer and get a set this afternoon. whtever they have, ideally the sn95 ones. if they only have fox (doubtful)... i own a machine shop so i'll have one of the lads make some spacer washers in a few minutes... the exact width i need
