Rubber bushings for LCA's?

Rubber bushings for LCA's?
I've been looking at most of the sponsor sites, and I can't seem to track down some LCA's with rubber bushings. I am trying to get adjustable ones since I plan to lower the car, but 99% of the adjustable ones have at least one rod end. I don't really want to have to try and order rubber bushings and have them pressed in. Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes single or double adjustable LCA's with rubber bushings on both sides?
I'm fairly dead set on rubber since I'm so terribly sick and tired of clunking squeaking rod ends and poly bushings. I grease the bastards every week and still they make all sorts of racket. I would just put the stockers back on except for the fact I want them adjustable for when I eventually get my hands on a set of strano springs.

IMO, J&M 3piece poly-ball LCA's are completely quiet!
The same goes for their Extreme-joints also, but the only thing is there not adjustable.
UMI also has the roto-joints which are also quiet, but they do let a little noise through, but the quality is a lot better then the J&M.
I currently have the roto-joints(non adjustable) on my car, I'm very happy with them!

Rubber bushing aftermarket LCA's seem too good to pass up. Here's a quote from BMR Tech about them vs their poly LCA's. I'll definitely be ordering rubber bushing LCA's from BMR when I get the money.

I'm a firm supporter of rubber bushings for my street car. I'm attempting to make it a little more civil and my biggest gripe has been the LCA's so far. I had poly/poly which were alright, and the poly/rod I have now are terrible. I could care less about track times if it makes it so I don't feel every time I drive over a crack in the road. FWIW my solid motor mounts make less noise and vibration than the stupid LCA's did.
