Default Ball joint choices!!!! Need imput

Ok so i have a 92 dx hatch ls/itr, pic apex, yada yada just wondering if aftermarket ball joints will aid in handling( at least keeping suspention in proper angles during corner) over oem, or parts store brands. I am not slammed by any meens. I have 1.5 finger gap on 14" steelies (dont worry steelies wont be there long car just got put together). I am not in need of ball joints but something i am wondering for if i decided to track the car ever. What brands are good what ones to stay way from.

Save your money and if you have bad ball joints, stick with oem.

The extended ones have pretty much been debunked except for very specific suspension angles and/or strut suspensions. Go Oem.
