I'm sorry I didn't copy everyone else's setup. If you need a preacher to tell you what mods to put on your car, the Reverend Veilside180sx might have a suggestion.

I have one more question. Do you have any guidlines on how much to space the ball joint down? If we are running hypercos with a one inch drop, will that equate to a needing to move the ball joint down one inch? More? Less?

hey mp
the balljoint spacing will depend on your "camber curve". there is no recommended initial set-up.
it will depend on springs/struts/camberplates/wheels /tires/ride hieght/etc and personal preference and what comprimises you are willing to make with your set-up (ie: will you sacrifice static camber for a better curve?)
whether or not these would be benificial to you, you would have to determine. a good place to start would a compehensive set of measurements, including ride hieght, strut travel, compessed height, extended height, control arm angle, corner weights, etc, etc, etc.
i wish i could be of more help in this area, but the variables are too great. and because the balljoint position is moved i can't really give you a "relative" guess compared to stock.
Ok, I lied, I still have one more question . I'd bet the most common tire/wheel combo people here run is a 205 50 15 on a 15x7 or 15x6.5 (kosie k1's, ats comp lites, etc.). Do you or anyone close to you have a wheel and tire to test fit on there? I'm sure that would be really helpful to alot of us. Obviously it will depend on the offset, but if you know the offset of the wheel you test fit we can probably figure out what else might fit and what wont.
when you are driving home today, count how many times you turn your wheel to full lock. aside from parking and slow speed u-turns, i'd venture to say zero.
it's not too late to put limiters in, whoops, different people with different setups might need different limits
How does the actual adjustment of the ball joint work? Is the metal piece a spacer, and you just use different length spacers? If so, are those supplied?

Can you make a list of who you recieved money from, so we can keep track for ourselves. Its time you guys...put up or shut up, they are finally here(if you are waiting for the super duper uber adjustable control arms[SDUAC] I understand you not paying yet).
