Ireland Engineering Rear control arms, redesigned?

I'll be getting some control arms soon and noticed the IE rear arms have been "newly redesigned." I know they had some issues with the urethane quality before. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with the new ones on a street car.




Basically it's down to these, SPC/Eibach, and H-Sport. I do not want bearing ends. I know both of these are pretty solid choices, but I'm just curious to hear some feedback on the new IE arms.

They look to be better. I've used them before without problems. The one downside is that the adjustment is on the ends and that is harder to do an alignment.
We only use the Hsport or TSW control arms. Never had either fail and I've had customers using the Hsports for 7yrs.
