Control Arm Experience?

So, I am still debating which control arms to get. I love the idea of a heim jointed LCA, but I have not ever had them. Anyone used them and have any feedback if I should go that route or the usual poly bushings?

We've been installing the H-Sport adjustable arms with poly bushings for years and years with great results. We've only sold 2 bushing rebuild kits ever.

There have been a handful of Auto X folks who've reported the bushings were blown out after a few years of tossing the cars around, but on daily drivers with some spirited driving they've shown to be extremely reliable.

The guys over at Outmotoring said pretty much the same about these. Being a Honda guy, that is all we run, but I was wondering if anyone has anything to say about running the Heim jointed ones, and how it went. I plan to AutoX and track the CM some, but prefer to buy once when doing suspension.

Don't bother fixing or upgrading the stock arms. It is much cheaper AND better in the long run to replace them with adjustable lower control arms. Alignments will much easier and you'll have better control over camber settings with a heim joint style lower control arm.

Here's a few to consider:
