I have a 2012 Boss 302 that is basically at stock ride height, Ford "P" springs. I now have access to a welder. Would extended ball joints be of any benefit to me? As is the car handles perfect for me.....

P springs are about half inch lower than stock Boss geometry. I’d put them in if I were running that low or lower.I have a 2012 Boss 302 that is basically at stock ride height, Ford "P" springs.

....so more understeer???When you move the geometric roll center upward, it not only changes the static front-rear roll stiffness balance (moves it forward),
No.....so more understeer???
Multiple effects, I think. Outside front gets planted a little sooner and roll is reduced slightly (less understeer) at the expense of LLT through the roll centers being more front-biased. But the progressively understeerish nature of the springs/bars/dampers contribution to LLT as roll develops becomes less so. Less roll also means less outside-front camber loss. All together, not more understeer, or at worst not enough more to notice.....so more understeer???
It's probably the engineer in me getting a bit picky
I'm going to be installing mine soon. The joint is rebuildable, adjustable, easily replaced and you can grease it!Last question, maybe. Who here is using the Howe extended ball joint??
What kind of life expectancy do they have??
My car is 60% street driven so take that into account.....
Longer than the bumpsteer kit you’ll need.What kind of life expectancy do they have??
