Hi guys does anyone on here know if there is a lower control arm ball joint that will fit into a VP LCA that is the same as a VR-VS lower ball joint. mainly asking as I want to utilise the later model hub setup for more suspension options

No....The VP balljoint presses in, where the VR/VS style bolt into the lower control arm....The lower control arm shape is also different

I know the VP one presses in and the VR ones bolt up. but what I was wondering if anyone knows of a press in type ball joint that will fit in the vp arm that is similar to the VS style of joint where there is no thread on the ball joint

Try AU onwards Balljoints......Whilst I have never tried this conversion, they have the balljoint style you're asking about

Have looked into this and AU falcon ones wont work. Been trying to get my hands on a spare set of vp lower arms to test whether a series 1 vt ball joint will fit into the location nicely
