if you get some i would get some with poly urethane bushings.
i got solid busings on adjustable LCA`s and it sounds like tho car is going to fall apart.
they make so much noise its rediculous

I have Spohn's moly rod end LCAs. They have zero deflection and no bind. They are noisey, however. I just ordered some poly ends for the frame side of the LCAs. They should quite them up and will still retain the bind free rod end on the axle side. Poly/poly LCAs are too stiff for street or autox use and will bind under high loads. If you want quiet, good ride, then get the factory 1LE LCAs. They have harder bushings then the stock pieces do.

The best combo I've found is new rubber bushings, box the stock control arms, and use LCA relocation brackets.
