camber kit ball joints busted

[vanydotk]

hi everybody, I posted this on V6P but nobody is really responding so I want to try here

My car is lowered with H&R sport springs (1.5" front, 1.2" rear) with tokico illmina shocks. I have a camber kit in the front and rear.. which I'm not even sure if I need.

Anyway, the ball joints are busted, could I go back to factory control arms and get an alignment since my car isn't lowered by much? The only reason I got them in the first place was to be on the safe side. Is it possible to just change the ball joints on an aftermarket camber kit?

Does anybody know what parts I'll need to buy to replace my rear factory control arm/front ball joint? I remember when the guy was installing the front ones he had to knock off the factory ball joint from the fork so I'm not sure if the whole thing needs to be replaced or if the aftermarket balljoint could be knocked off as well. I'm pretty lost when it comes to suspension. Pics:

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Yeah, you don't need the front camber kit. Just replace it with your OEM stuff, get an alignment, and you'll be good to go.

Yeah, you could. You don't really need it only being dropped 1.2R.

How come you didn't have the original parts? And did you get new ball joints too?

I did a buy/trade with the guy I got the camber kits from so he took my original parts and yes it did include the ball joints as well.
