Default Lower Control Arm Supplier?

I am going to be replacing the stock lower control arms on my 997.1 GT3 with "track only" (no rubber) parts. NVH be damned.

There are options from Elephant, TPC, RSS, Tarett and probably others.

Does anyone have any experience that can help guide my decision?

I already have RSS rear toe links and front toe bump rod end, so I am leaning towards their LCA just to keep everything from one supplier, but all of the options look quite similar.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Why track only… the RSS and Tarret come adjustable so they can be fine on the street. I personally have the tarret cause I like metallic red lol jk … but if you want to go crazy on the camber you can just buy the shims

Stock lower control arm
press out compression bushing and replace with solid bushing
get inner link monoball from cup / porsche
If you want all in one get the lower arm for the RSR

The bearing/joint on the lower control arms is solid, the inner link is not, the compression bushing is not.

I only have experience with porsche and ERP (not elephant racing). Both are good.
