After extensive research I chose Maximum Motorsports. I like the spherical bearing and poly bushing combo, they are great for street handling\cornering & drag. The cheaper ones have polyurethane bushings on both ends and are best for drag only. Poly bushed arms are not the best for street use because they bind when cornering. Some companies use Derlin bushing designs but IMO Derlin won't last and I just don't trust it. Search the treads for LCA, this site has lots of info already posted on this subject. If you go to the Maximum Motorsports or Global West web sites they explain LCAs with great detail.

I put BBK's on my car, they have poly bushings and I really like that they have grease fittings as well. I just put them on becuase I put fat rear tires on and was worried about wheel hop. I have no wheel hop issues and the ride isn't any rougher. Fit was really good and priced right with the others.
