UMI sells it in a nice package. I prefer rod ends, theyre not as noisy as everyone plays em out to be. I have them on a daily driver and they dont bother me at all. Also LG sells nice stuff too, cant go wrong with either.

The rod ended adjustable PHB is great though.

It also added a shapness to evey bump in the road which made the daily commute a lot less fun.

I have BMR. Extremely happy with all parts. UMI, LG, and SPOHN are comparable in price and quality.
...........and another thing, the next crack head that says BMR= Kmart needs to get lobotomized!

I think the thing most people don't expect is the fact that a rod end ridgedly fixes the LCA to the chassis, there's no dampening or "shock" absorbtion between the road and the car. The stock rubber, or harder 1LE bushings, soak up a lot of vibration and noise.
