That looks like it is at full droop. Is that correct?

[colt zantop]

yes..

I am assuming this picture was taken with the car off the ground.... That being said they look to be normal. They will tilt back to the normal position once the car is supported back on its own weight and the alignment is all dialed in. I dont think they ever sit perfectly straight since they are made to move side to side as the car jounces up and down. Someone who is more of a suspension authority than me can chime in here.

Your suspension should not get that far in droop travel. If it does the ball joints would be the least of your problems.
