ESP drivers; LCA?
What are you guys doing about LCA bushings? I am seriously considering getting my car preppred for ESP, which would entail going back to a factory motor... and some roll back on my suspension mods. From my understanding of the rules established for ESP, rotojoints, heims, polyballs, etc; are NOT legal for the car.. nor are LCARBs
What are your solutions? Just stock LCAs with poly? Poly/rubber combo? There don't seem to be a lot of options as set in the book.

If you need something that articulates.... you can use something like this:

It's one of the reasons I got rod-end LCA's, because I can put almost any end bushings I want on them whenever I want.

Ah, those look pretty neat. However, I have the OEM LCAs with 1LE bushings so I think I'll swap that back in.
