Bit the bullet and bought tires now I need LCA/UCA
Sup all I was recently looking into tire info and just purchased some nt555r's through my job so that's that. Now I am a bit ***-backward as I bought tires before much needed LCA/UCA I recently started getting a bit of noises that got progressively worse fast. I had the car up on a drive up lift and played pull-up on my rear bumper support and found that the noises are definitely coming from my LCA bushings.
My thinking is that since they gotta come out anyway might as well put something that is better back in there. Now I don't need super strong hardware. I DD my car everyday and I really only care about straight line performance. I saw a set of LCA and UCA on UPR's site for 220. I just wanted to see what people thought of these. I know spherical bushing are best to reduce binding and allow play, but I don't think the price justifies it for me seeing as I will goto the track only a few times this summer.

You want heavy duty???
Go Griggs! (the image on that page is NOT the correct one, so pay no attention)
Cannot/will not say they are the "best" as this is really a subjective arguement, but strongest I have found and run them myself.
