when you hit a bump and the steering wheel shakes. They also correct suspension geometry

OK that's what I thought it was. I should probably look into those. There's a few spots in the road near where I live where that happens to me.

elohel, this is more of a track thing, if your bump steer is really bad, you may have worn ball joints like mine - but you can just replace them with oem and save some cash

I'm slowly replacing all my bushings with energy suspension and building my suspension, so I might as well. I know for a fact my ball joint bushings are shot. They're all rotted like most of the bushings on my car. I plan on doing a lot of autox in the future.

Usually in autox doesn't have that issue because you're carrying fairly little speed, comparatively. Obviously it's your choice, it's just that extended ball joints are around 40 times more expensive

I want to try a little bit of everything. I'm sure it makes way more of a difference in track than autox. Haven't had any track experience yet. Not too sure what track stuff is around the east TN area lol.

Whats the benefits of extended ball joints?

Thanks Dillon.
When you lower your car, both the center of gravity and roll center of the car changes which causes more body roll than when you have stock geometry. The extended ball joints restores the stock geometry reducing the extra body roll.

For reference:

That's not true Dolla. I will buy you stuffs. Yee

Ahhh I see now. I'm gonna be lowering my car soon. Already got my front camber kit ready to install, and I already have wider tires. (205/50/15). I never knew just having wider tires affects your car that much.
