Default Lower Control Arm Choice?

I have been tossing these two rear lower control arms around but can't decide. It's between the J and M:http://www.hotpart.com/index.php?p=show&id=151 : which have grease fittings, are $144.55, and match the color of the car....Or...Steeda: http://www.steeda.com/products/steed...ntrol_arms.php : which are $199.45, do not have grease fittings, and are bright blue. I just don't know if the Steeda LCA are better quality for the extra coin.... I really, really, want Eibach LCA, and I saw them for sale online about 5 months ago, but now can't find them for my life. Any input would be appreciated.

I have the J&M, car is a lot tighter and I did plant the rear end better at the track. The newer ones don't have grease fittings though, unless they have changed again. Mine have been on for over a year, no problems and no grease fittings (even though the instructions referenced them).
