Do you have wheelhop now?

If you don't, I wouldn't do anything.

If you do... try the cheep'er' route of LCAs, Relocs (even on stock ride hight) first.

how bad does ride quality get with rod ends instead of poly/end or poly/poly bushings?

My ride quality has been pretty much the same. I've noticed the 'clunk' more than anything. And I mean clunk as in the body side of the LCA. Some don't have the problem mind you. I've got mine torqued to 74 ft lbs and most likely need to go to the revised 90ft/lbs.

The ride doesn't really become harsher until you change your springs. If you change the LCA and PHR you won't really feel the car ride harsher. My car is lowered on G2 Super Springs with the Hotckis full suspension and the ride quality is really better than I expected. Granted lately my ride has become more bumpy because its time for me to change out my shocks but other than that I was very pleased with the ride.
