Default che torque limiters/brace = comp or standard?

OK time to order the che kmember brace and torque limiter. The competition is five bucks more and replaces the bushings with rods...so that means no adjustability and a harsher ride, right? Which one should I get, I hammer on my car nonstop, don't give a crap about a rough ride, and may go back to the track in the winter. Dammit, why do I always have to make these purchases on a weekend when che is closed? And don't say wait till tuesday cause I don't have the patience for that

here's the link...thanks guys...

if you really dont care about ride harshness or noise then the rod ends are stiffer, most still get the performance they need from the bushings in the standard kit

the rod ends are much harsher then the bushings both give added stability in the tranny it pretty much just comes down to preference i think i maybe wrong tho

you have the bushing type, right? As far as the adjustment goes, it's pretty straightforward right?

okay I just ordered the regular ones. Thanks everyone...hopefully the driveway install will be pretty straightforward, I managed the hurst sts and I think this will be a bit easier?

p.s. I know I'm not aveteran member yet, but maybe when new owners ask "what mods should I do first", instead of telling them CAI/tune, we should tell them rear ca's and this brace/limiter set...I mean it's fairly easy to do serious drivetrain damage to the car, even stock, without these essential add-ons...
