so dealing with my budget for doing this LSD/ trans swap along with new rear end components.... i have hit a snag. i REALLY like Mike Simards upper arm kit, but i like the cheap part of the stock arm bushings.

Pros of the billet adjustable upper arm are, Rigidity and Camber adjustment
Cons, Price over stock

Stock bushings.
Pros, Cheap
Cons, Cheap

Thoughts?

Is the OEM unit not rigid enough?

No offense to the billet units, but..id save the $ for something that matters to you more..if its already a question.

IMO Mikes kit is more suited to incorporating in an overall suspension performance package. It'd be a bit of a waste of that beautiful engineering and adjustability to not add all the other things that would complement it, both front and back ... but if that's what you plan then go for it.

Everything Mike makes is quality...which never comes cheap....

BUT for a street car...why bother? There is PLENTY of camber adjustment in the stock setup...even for race cars like mine......

I'd say if you are looking for "bling" factor....big brakes are the way to go....(but also not needed on street cars, since once again I run STOCK S brakes on the Estate)

If you really need bushing, get other arms.

stock stock stock! uppers are fine, and fine for racing. 2 degrees is all you need in the rear anway.

although, the bling factor of mikes are pretty high! very nice!
