Boxed w poly bushngs will cause suspension bind during body roll----->bad times!
The stock LCAs are intended to flex to allow this articulation. This articulation is why (smart) people run rod ends on aftermarket LCAs.
I personally do not C what is so bad about stock LCAs, if you want a firmer bushing swap in som 1LEs.
Plenty of other areas to spend time and $ first IMHO.
But if U R set on LCAs, check out UMI.

Subtle is correct, that type of control arm, regardless of who makes it binds the suspension in roll. They work great for wheelhop, but also hurt the ride and handling of the car as well.
I suggest a set of poly/rod-end LCA's $169 a pair, I happend to sell/use/recommend UMI's version. This style LCA doesn't have the binding because the rod-end will let the axle articulate. At the same time you get all the wheelhop/traction benefits of the arms you were looking at. FWIW, UMI also sells a regular poly/poly bushed arm too (and one with rod/rod ends as well).
I also sell the 1LE style solid rubber bushings for use in the stock LCA's, which are $52 for the pair. They help too by eliminating the air gaps in the stock bushings, which cause wind-up.
