Alternative to IE street/track adjustable rear camber links

Hi all, I went to order a set of Ireland engineering's street/ track rear adjustable camber links, But they are on back order. Can anyone recommend an alternative with urethane bushings not rod ends?

Thanks,
Kyle M.

I think there are some made by Megan something or other. They have zerg fittings for greasing, I think...maybe not?

I sell and have the Megan's on my MINI. There is no grease fitting or grease needed.

Text taken from http://www.autoxcooper.com/megan.html#controlarms "These control arms feature a turn-buckle style adjustment in the center of the arm for easy adjustment and anti-dust pillow ball ends for a more direct feel without compromising comfort."

While I'm a fan of the IE arms, the Megan's will work great too and are ready to ship.

Well then somewhere along the way I've seen control arms with grease fittings. Am I going crazy?

Thanks for the email. I will be ordering the Megan's. I am still conserned about the adjustment in the middle of the arm. It seems like a bad idea to cut a arm in half, but I like that they are steel and not aluminium.

Thanks for the input everyone

Thanks for the order. Once you have them in hand and installed I think you'll discovered what I did, and many others, that if the arm was to every bend it would only be due to a very bad accident and the arms would be at the bottom of the price list in repairs. There have been no reports of the Megan arms failing.
