I've had them on my car for a few years now and they're great.

Great quality, but very overpriced, and like all boxed or tubular double poly bushed LCA's bind the rear axle's ability to articulate fully.

I much prefer these UMI pieces as the rod-ends allow full axle articulation, but without bushing of actual arm deflection you want rid of. And the poly bushing in the front isolates any possible rod-end noise (itself not a huge issue since they are teflon lined).

Edited because I wanted to point out I sell Hotchkis parts as well, and if I thought they were better, I'd be happy to hook you up with those instead.

I had them on my '95 formula and now on my '01 formula..best bang for the buck! They are not over priced.

Sure they're overpriced.... I don't know what you definition of bang for the buck is, but why buy these: http://hotchkis.net/products.php?mai...roducts_id=151 (and I sell them for $259) when you can buy these: http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=18&ModelID=7 for $109 a pair, or better yet these: http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetai...D=18&ModelID=7 for $179 a pair, and they don't bind the rear suspension up.

I'm not trying to harsh here, but if you definition is bang for the buck, and the bucks are more than double for the same quality and type of part I'm not sure how that's a great bargain.

There is a HUGE difference in if they work, and how well they work vs. if they are worth the money. There is NOTHING the Hotchkis parts do that the $109 UMI's don't do. And there are things that the $179 UMI's do better than the Hotchkis for less money.
