Someone told me that if I replace my UCA and LCA's with aftermarket pieces. Specifically, I want to put in the BMR tubular w/poly bushings on the lower and the upper will be BMR adjustable w/poly bushings. Any thoughts??

I have the BMR UCA, and aftermarket non-adjustable LCA's (stock springs on a PP 4.0L/5spd coupe). I will be changing LCA's due to a defect with the bushings. In 2007 I made about 35 passes at the track (hopefully more in 2008), and for me the UCA was worth it. For most people, new LCA's will be enough for their needs.

what happened with your bushings? why dont you just put new bushings on? im having nasty noises from my bmr bushings..
I don't wanna slam anybody, but I paid $200 for billet aluminum LCA's from a known supplier (their own in-house brand). I'm not sure I could get replacement bushings, nor do I necessarily want them. Frankly, I've been dealing with wheelhop issues all season, and I think the worst bushing was bad from the start. I'll get wheelhop in the rain the way things are now.
I'm going with CHE non-adjustable LCA's. There are several well-known members here with these exact LCA's who have 10-12 second cars. So I think that they will work well on my NA 4.0L...

Thanks for the input. I think I'll end up with a good set of LCA's and probably the CHE K-Member brace w/torque arms. I'm a little sick of having shifting issues during hard acceleration. And without the UCA cost I'm that much closer to the MGW shifter I want....woot... yay me
