Default aftermarket control arms or no?

I'm trying to weigh my options with this... posted already in the suspension forum and didn't get anything ...

should I go aftermarket?? I plan on lowering my car about 2 inches, however, I'm concerned if I go aftermarket about the balljoints. Apparently skunk 2 has their own ball joints, and OE balljoints do not work with their control arms. For those of you who have the skunk2's, how long have the ball joints lasted??

Are there any aftermarket control arms that can use OE replacements ball joints?? (I'm just thinking downtime if I need replacements)

Or, should I stick with OE control arms, lower it, set the toe to zero, and call it a day???

I need to get some ball joints for my car, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to go...

Any and all help would be appreciated..
