BMR LCA's with rod ends (MTCA003)
Anyone have experience with these? Are they noisy? Did your car ride rougher with them? Did they help your 60'?
I currently have the old Lakewood LCA's with poly bushings. They've treated me well over the years, but I probably need something better for my application.
My car is a '91 GTA at 3650lbs raceweight, 402ci LS2, th350 with 5000 stall, 3.50 gears, 275/60/15 MT DR's. Best pass ever is a 9.81 @ 138 with a 1.37 60' on footbrake.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

We sell the same style and consider them our full-race version.
A 1.39 60ft is pretty stout and it must mean your car is dialed to start with. Adding this type would most likely improve your consistency more than help the 60 ft.
Rod ends are nice and quiet (all things considered) for the first few hundred miles or 25 passes until the liner starts to get hammered then they get "clicky". They'll never give the street comfort of rubber or poly though.

You will not experience any difference in ride quality so much, but there will be no bushings to isolate road noises. So you'll probably hear more noises being made as you go down the road. As was mentioned above, over time the parts will begin to make a little more noise as the lining wears our a little bit. They will deliver the best physical performance because they won't have any bushings that will compress. They offer full articulation, are made from chrome moly, and are on-car adjustable.
