BMR and Spohn use cheap rod ends ? I know that good rod ends have teflon lining to extend life, reduce noise and reduce friction. If you want, buy a BMR or Spohn or any other adjustable thread ended panhard or trailing arm and buy quality rod ends from a good distributor. Jegs has QA1 rod ends in several different styles.

I'm going w/the 1LE LCA's & PHR for my setup (already have the 1LE front & rear sway bars & BMR STB installed). Can't go too wrong w/stuff GM actually designed for autocross & roadracing ;)2001 Onyx Black Camaro M5-Totalled<br />2005 Ford F150 XLT 5.4L<br /><br />\"To make peace, prepare for war.\"

I still think for the price, the BMR stuff when used properly is superior to the U-bend steel that GM uses...
But you can't go wrong with 1LE, wheras you can put yourself in a hurt locker with the BMR if you dont know what youre doing when choosing parts.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

So you want to buy the cheap rod ended LCAs then on top of that pay for another set of rod ends, $30 a piece or more. So that's $30 times 4, another $120 plus whatever the BMRs are. Why not just get LG Motorsports ones?

Are the LG rod ends superior to BMRs? What does LG use? They only make poly/rod combo arms. Their stuff is very expensive :( . Maybe they can charge more because they make better quality parts . I say just leave the stock parts on unless you have very large rear tires or some custom lowered autox car :D . Im sure that the aftermarket suspension doesn't make that much of a difference ;) .

Yes, the rod ends are of much higher quality and therefore more expensive. That means that they will last much longer and be quiet. Everyone I talked to so far hasn't heard a noise out of them. Same goes for Billingsley. http://www.billingsleyracing.biz/ One person here got the LCA and panhard rod and they are noise free. I will take a look at them myself at the next meeting. They have a special now $300 for the combo LCA and PHR. You can pick singe or double rod ends.
