      Do the Gmod OR the tall ball joints; not both.

      Ok, then i will just stick with the tall ball joints and the adjustable uppers.

      Yeah,

      Took me a long time to learn that too, but you cannot change the Camber curve without changing the physical pick up points on the vehicle or the hieght of the ball joints

      Found this site very usefull

      In looking at saving cost, could i do the adjustable upper control arms, the tall lower ball joints and then the g-mod in order to offset the price of also buying the tall upper ball joints? that would save me $170.

      I wouldn't do the Gmod. Get the adjustable UCAs and the tall upper ball joint for now. Have you called Marcus at SC&C to get his opinion? He's hard to reach but once you do, you'll find the conversation extremely rewarding.

      One of the major costs of the tall ball joints (uppers, I didnt think there was a tall lower) I think? Is that they are some superior ball joints. Not just that they are taller, and help with the camber issues , but that they are some really high quality ball joints. You get two fixes in one part.

      So by going with the taller ball joints you are getting more than the improved geometry. You are buying a high quality part. JR

      True, i guess i should just wait and save upto buy better components. Yes there is a tall lower ball joint that actually drops the car from 1/2" to 3/4". Being a college student dropping 715 on ball joints and upper arms and still not having the coilovers is a lot, plus i still have the stock lowers that aren't the strongest that i will have to modify to accept the coilovers. And i still need to fab up my rear 4 link

      The upper arms/balljoints are right around $500. I'd go with that package and do lower control arms/ball joints later, if you think you need them.

      Why do you want coilovers? Are you going to be making frequent ride height (and alignment) adjustments?
