depends on the rod ends really....if they are the good QA1 you will like them.
I bought my stuff from UMI, very happy with the APHR and one of the LCAs. One of the LCAs I think the rod was defected and made a **** load of noise, so I took it out about a week after I purchased it. I never contacted UMI, but i'm sure they woulod have taken care of me.....Its been sitting in the garage for like 6 months now, i'll change it one day....The rest of the rod ends are fairly quiet, make some noise, but that should be expected for a race part

Yeah hard to tell from the picture if these LCA's have the "good" rod ends. The kind you want are 3/4" QA1 "Endura Series" rod ends. If you have anything less than that, they are going to be noisy as hell and drive you nuts.
Another thing is, these look a little heavy. Aluminum LCA's are light and plenty strong enough. They are probably even cheaper than these. You just have to be smart enough to know how to order the parts and assemble them yourself. Coleman Racing has the 16" tubular aluminum LCA's, and you can order the QA1 rod ends from Racer's Parts Wholesale. This link may help:

Same thing applies to the panhard bar:

The only other part you need is a set of stepped aluminum spacers. I have been making those for people for cheap, so email me if you want some.
