Re: Ball joints

Supermex, there are aftermarket OEM style and there are roll centering ones. If you want good ones, I suggest trying to upgrade to DC5 ones. I don't know if the ball centering ones from the DC5 will fit the EM2 though because I don't think anyone has tried. The moog ones should work though.

Re: Ball joints

If you click on the link I gave you, those are aftermarket roll center adjusters by j's racing that will fit your em2, because they are for an ep3.

Re: Ball joints

I have that on my car already. Awesome part. I'm 99.9999999999% sure that its the ep3 one and not the dc2/dc5 one.

But just give aj racing a call and they will confirm it right away for you. There is another company that makes roll center adjusters, but its really hard to find their part.
