After doing some reading on upgrading my suspension i decided i wanted to go with 1le bushings in the back and keep my stock control arms because the rod ends from peoples reviews and feedback seem to wear out pretty quick on a street driven vehicle. Is there any aftermarket rear end that will accept all stock style suspension to avoid using rod ends?

As far as aftermarket rears go, most of them will accept stock suspension components. When going with aftermarket suspension components, most suspension aftermarket companies offer their parts with poly bushings, you don't have to go with rod ends. An example would be the lower control arms that I sell at this link. http://shop.brutespeed.com/Lower-Con...ckets_c358.htm

The Moser nine inch rears at this link are a great way to go.

If your looking for aftermarket control arms that are more street friendly can also take a look at bmr, they sell one with ruber bushings which is better then poly as it allows the rear not to bind as much.

Thanks for the links bob. Any reason to choose the 9in over an s60? Do you happen to know weight differences or parasitic loss diff? Thanks joe77 for the info I was aware of that but it seems the stock ones with 1le bushings are pretty good according to sam strano
