Regarding the Heim joints, I definitely agree that you should stick with stock ball-joints.
My rally car uses heim joints as replacements for the main control arm bushings in both the front and rear suspension. They wear WAY faster then a stock ball joint. When used on the street, in the summer, I'm seeing 20,000km or less. A single day at Shannonville will finish off a set...and you don't even want to ask about how long they last for gravel or snow rallies.
