Yes for the type of things you do, you will need to upgrade. You will really notice a difference with the aftermarket stuff.

any upgrade (poly or rodends) are gonna transmit more road noise to the chassis. you need to define "noisey". will the rodends rattle? well eventually they will. how long? who knows. i have 2 years on my poly/rod combo LCA's and have no rattle from the rodends, and i open track my car regularly.

I am not talking about the rodends rattling. When they start to rattle doesn't that mean they need to be replaced? I guess what I am wondering is will the car still be very driveable(road noise wise) on the street with the g2 poly/rod end lca's? If I go on a 500 mile trip in the car with them on will I be doing this by the end of the trip <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" /> ?

From doing a couple searches, it seems like this stuff is the best? I am worried about the noise though, seems like some say it is noisy and others say no? Is it worth it to upgrade the stock pieces for normal driving and the occasional trip to the dragstrip or autox.
