I would actually prefer the older style suspension.  You already have a
sway bar and I was told they are just a bit more fun to drive.  I don't
know if it's because of the sway bar or the different tie rod location.

Whatever the case might be I like the idea of the same ball joints front
and back and I also hear those control arms (with an extra ball joint
bracket) are stronger than the two piece once.  And if you get the newer
style ball joints (with slots) you get more camber adjustment too.

That's just me.
