I am not seeing "Elite" LCA's on UPR's site, but so long as they have one spherical bearing, I prefer them over MM for your described needs.

Do you have a link for us?

ok thanks. i like the mm better than them. Or for a cruzier would it be better to just replacing the bushing with oem rubber bushing. Like i said i will NOT be doing any drag racing. i have been reading a lot of threads and now im comfused on what i should do. i did under stand keep the oem uca with rubber bushings. sorry yall im kind of confused on the best route. If it matters my car is lowered with eibach sportline springs.

Syracuse is correct... I like the one with a spherical end and your link has a poly/poly end This is not a UPR thing, but rather a functional thing and the spherical works better, regardless of the driving duties. Both the MM and UPR that Syracuse linked are going to be a real upgrade over your OEM ones, but my personal preference in design is with the UPR's.

Definitely, keep the OEM UCA's and yank the quad-shocks with a new set of LCA's. FWIW, the LCA's you linked will work, they just add more bind to a rear suspension that already has more than it needs.
