SuperPro adjustable ball joints
« on: July 23, 2016, 04:18:34 pm »
I had the SuperPro adjustable ball joints fitted to my Ed. 30 recently but unfortunately the ball joints rub the discs of my Brembo 18Z kit when I make hard turns. The ball joints were cut twice, the dust shields were cut to make a window just were the ball joints would rub, but even after putting the camber as positive as possible they keep rubbing on hard cornering. :sad1:

My mechanic is against cutting the ball joints more so the only option I have now is to return to stock ball joints. Has anyone any experience with these ball joints and BBK?  :thinking:

Yep. Sometimes they are not compatible with certain rotors. Just remove them. The amount of camber they give isn't that much anyway.

Thanks @rich83. I'll have to live with stock camber since I'm not fitting camber plates or coilovers with camber adjustment. :sad1:
