Problems like what? Are the balljoints just going out really fast?
what A-arms are you using?

Think of it like this...
You know that karate kid pose?

See, the arms like that is what your steering rack looks like when you drop your car

its supposed to look like


The higher the arms go on these guys the more wrong the pose is and the dumber they look.
The lower your car goes the worse it is for the rack and joints...thats why your killing ball joints...theyre not supposed to be angled like that. You have coilovers, so raise it up...your joints and wallet w/ thank you.
