[QUOTE="mr. b_98GT, post: 15558195, member: 150353"] I'm running almost the same set-up as you, only difference is I'm using stock balljoints instead of X2's, and I don't have a bumpsteer kit on yet. I didn't go with the X2's because the H&R Race Springs are not that drastic of a drop. Pretty sure you can use either balljoint (I have X2's on my 98 with Ford C Springs). I have the MM aluminum bushings, and you will notice a difference once they are in. Only drawback is making sure they are installed properly, and the fact that once you install them, you can't really go back to stock or poly bushings unless you get new bolt tubes (or whatever they are called). I had to re-install the aluminum bushings after I put them in to flatten the area around the hole where they bolt up to keep them from hitting the k-member. Read the instructions, it tells you about this. If you install them, and get a popping feeling when you turn, they are hitting the k-member. You didn't list if you are using isolator's or not. You'll get lots of opinions on this. If it's a daily, or you don't want it slammed, get some MM Isolators or re-use the stock ones, and install the spring spacer that comes with the X2's. You can also do variations of one iso in front, no iso's in rear, or other combo's to get whatever desired look you want. I prefer a stock like rake and just lowered slightly but not so much that I have to worry about scraping the exhaust or k-member. I also feel like when the car is really low, it doesn't give the suspension enough room to work to it's full potential, and I didn't want to spend all this money on suspension parts and not allow them to work as intended. The suspension set-up that was on my car when I first got it was pretty low, and it rode like crap. Like 2DXTRM said above, put in a MM steering shaft while you are at it. From what I've read, that really helps. I plan on eventually getting one and installing it along with a MM bumpsteer kit. [/QUOTE]
