$695 for a ball joint and bumpsteer kit is a lot. Maybe worth it...

I purchased the Rennbay geometry correcting ball joint kit ($199) and the Elephant Racing bump steer adjusting tie rod kit ($360). Not quite as expensive and no welding required. However, it might be necessary to have the ball joint opening machined out just a touch because I think the correcting kit has a larger pin than stock, I still need to measure to verify. I'll post links and pix a little later.

I think he was referring to the first link in the OP. The Gen I ball joint drop link kit listed at $500, the Gen II listed at $625. I don't think those ball joint kits will work on 924/944 arms.
The thing I should mention about the Rennbay is that I'm pretty sure it's only usable on the alu arms. 924/944 with steel a-arms would still have to figure out something on the ball joint.

They look to me to bolt right into the steel arms. The question is whether you are comfortable with having the pin welded to your spindle.
