Ball joints?????

I need to get new ball joints and tie rod ends. My question to you all is this I want to go with the whiteline bump steer kit, but I am keeping my evo at the normal ride height. Is it ok to get this if I am not lowering my car. I know I need to get an alignment done and all that. If I can not where can I get some good ball joints and tie rod ends from for stock height.

Yeah, not exactly sure what the bump steer kit would do on a non lowered car.

Dont think it would be advisable. If youre sure youre not going to lower the EvO, why even consider it? Just go back in w/a stock replacement

I run the kit, but im on C/o'rs

Hardrace makes rear balljoints. Wonder if they work with the fronts?

Tie ends they do make, but not ball joints. I called and talked to there tech support and they said that they did not have anything for ball joints. They suggested I check the forums and see what people had used as substations. What may work on another vehicle that works on mine.
