Spherical-end Control Arms SCR has cheap Spherical-end, non-adjustable, (non-bushinged?) control arms on eBay. I guess this is just a general spherical-end question for all suspension parts -- is missing the bushings a very-bad-for-the-street mod? I'd definitely be game on better traction, but my car is going to be street driven for a while to come and don't want to too much comfort. (until I strike it rich and make an all-drag car).
Thanks,

Re: Spherical-end Control Arms Ack, forgot, this car is for AUTOCROSSING primarily when doing performance upgrades, and some drag, all daily street. So I hear poly/poly are bad for autox because of binding.

Yes, the poly/poly arms will bind. Once replaced, you will notice an immediate improvement on track out of a turn. My car pushed like a pig exiting a corner with poly/poly LCAs. I changed to G2 poly/spherical LCAs and the push went away ...
A local AX/RRer has over 50K miles on his rod end LCAs and it makes no noise.
