Default Front arb-solid or ball joint?

Hi all! Im looking at getting a set of front and rear noltec drop links,and was wondering what too get for the front. My 95 RA has standard ball joint type,do i need to fit uprated ball joint type, or can i replace them with the solid type?
Also, i've not fitted an uprated arb yet, and wondered if the droplinks will make much difference on there owm?

Thanks,Mit

hi m8 you need to fit whiteline type motorsport rose joint ones the solid alloy type will pull off the bushes .the d/links going from your type to m/sport type .you wont feel much difference -get the up rated bars to gain handling geo

Thanks, it just seems i never see the ball joint type when looking for them.
Do you know what the cost of whiteline kit is? Im after front ball joint and rear droplinks, also a 22mm rear arb. The alk i can get from the states for £65 delivered(as long as the tax man don't get me! )
I've also been giving the camber bolts some thought,as will be getting API to do the geo for me once the other mods are fitted.

Add the camber bolts as they will be very good to get the rear suspension 'in-line'.

The bearing front drop links are great, had mine on for a year on road and track, zero probs (as you always get with Whiteline)
