Neither extended nor OEM ball joints will lower your car, extended ball joints are to correct the angle of your suspension arms once you've already lowered the car..
 
thanks is just stevenek9 said it lower your car or maybe i got him all wrong but is it worth changing one if the other one is ok.

They DO lower your car and the coilovers require readjustment to suit

Basically when you fit them they space the hub assembly up by 0.75", then when you raise the suspension to compensate for this then thats what spaces the lower arms back down again :)
 
i still dont get a answer for my question what i ask is im geting mine change soon but im geting a blueprint but there is only a play in one is worth changing one or both.
 
I would of thought you would need to chnage both at the same time to enure the geometry is correct
 
Yes, they will lower your car slightly, and you will need to have adjustable coilovers to compensate for this.

murphy2: What do you mean by blueprint? Is that the brand of ball joint? If it is just an oem replacement ball joint, then it will not affect your vehicles handling/performance like an extended ball joint will.
 
ok thanks for the reply yea i mean oem and about lower in your car those this go for oem aswel.
