hymm, i didnt think of that.

yea i guess by relocacting the position of the ball joint that might be able to get it back closer to the stock geometry and itll keep your ball joints at reasonable angles. however that dropped arm will still push the spindle up and move the uppercontrol arm some what, how much the spindle goes up and the upper arm moves? i dont know. however im sure if companys are selling these arms then they ARE alignable as is, however i dont think you can claim that they retain stock geometry, because they dont. only drop spindles will do this.
