Sometime this summer I plan to do an extensive overhaul of my suspension, and before I do that I will need new lower ball joints as mine are failing already. So I have been considering the option of running extended lower ball joints.

I plan to lower the car on full-bodied coilovers, which will have a height adjustment independent of the spring preload via a threaded bottom mount and shock body. Most of these full-bodied coilovers that I see are already using a shorter valve body than stock, so I'm wondering if having extended lower ball joints will help my geometry or hurt it.

As a disclaimer, I also plan to run the other necessary components to compliment such a setup. That would include flipped tie rod ends (hardrace bottom mounting outer tie rod ends) and adjustable upper control arms AKA camber kits, so I can run as much camber as I feel like. (No **** talk from the trolls please). Opinions?
