Default Power Performance Motorsports 2nd gen Camaro tall ball joints review

I just finished a test of .5" taller upper and lower ball joints. These are made by Power Performance Motorsports for 2nd gen Camaro/Firebird.

They make impressive gains in neg camber, the upper being the most beneficial with very low impact on bumpsteer. The tall lowers add a little more, but bumpsteer is worse. The 2nd gen steering linkage can be moved around quite a bit to improve bumpteer and even with tall upper and lower balljoints our early runs with the test car do not produce any noticeable steering feel problems.

Dave, do you happen to have a similar chart for first gen's? Do you know if the Global West UCA's came with a longer ball joint?
