B13 Ball joint options
I run a asphalt circle track b13 and I am looking to get the car a little lower but have been running into some roll center issues. I have done a good amount of searching but havent really found any info on if there are any tall ball joint options that will fit in the b13 control arms directly or with a little machining. Anyone out there with some advice? Thank you.

Check rockauto.Com for ball joint reolacement.moog makes a nice unit.if you are on your 3rd replacement,I advise you to tack at least four corners or safer to changer the arm itself.oem control arms are good for 2 replacement ball joints

I used 240sx roll center correction ball joints in my NX. Made a sleeve and spot welded them in. Careful that the rotor will rub con troll arm. Use a hammer to clearance it. I think it gives you 1.5 drop. I run lower a-arms parallel to the ground. You need to watch your bump steer too. It gets crazy when lowered.

Ya, that is exactly what I ended up doing except I had a buddy with a lathe machine down the S14 ball joints and then I pressed them in to the arms. Threw a couple tack welds on for safe measure.

B13 Ball joint options
2jracing has a bump steer kit for the b14 that should be a direct bolt in affair. The front suspension setups being the same between the B13 and B14.

Bump steer and roll centers are different things. Bump steer has to do with tie rod geometry.

So tie rods we know we can fit s13 inner & outer tie rods correct ? But as for ball joints we have no extended options yet ?
