Default Granatelli LCA's any good?

I was looking at their adj. lca's on summitracing. They are one of the few that aren't red or black. Anyone using these? Any reason they aren't as good as bmr or others?

Does summit have the wrong picture on their site? For the race version they show one with poly bushings on both ends.

After further investigation I believe they have the picture, part # and price correct, it's the description that is ***-backwards.

They have a picture of the "standard" version and a note that says the race version has rod-ends instead.

I haven't used these, but I don't see why they wouldn't work. The only drawback I can see is that the "arm" itself only has two milled flats on it for a wrench. That could make adjusting a pain if you have to make partial rotations. Every other company that makes adjustables has a hex on the bar, which is easier to grip for adjustment. Granted, that's a pretty minor gripe, but that's my two cents.

FYI, BMR will powdercoat their LCAs in pretty much any color you could want. Spohn, CHE, etc, might do that too--you may want to check. However, you can't really see the LCA unless you are looking at the car VERY closely, so I'm not sure how much that really matters. The average observer won't ever see the LCAs, trust me. They'll see your car, the wheels, or perhaps your tire smoke (taillights anyone?) but they won't see the LCAs.
