You can use the fox balljoint but with the SN95 spindles you will
have to use a lg spacer(washer) between the spindle and the nut
for the castlated(sp) part to be up high enought for the cotterpin
hole?

 Hope this makes since?  Or use an SN95 balljoint and a nylock nut

That's what I did with the brake conversion with the spacer but what I was meaning is when you lower a sn95 they say you should use steeda x2 balljoints it does something for a lowered car and I didn't know if it was the same on a fox body

The ball joints are interchangeable.

 I just never could justifiy the steeda over a replacments
