Or how do they compare to Roush, Steeda or others.

They look really trick but I bought a brand new set of the Roush billet LCA's on this site for less than that. Keep your eyes open because there are always great deals here if you are willing to wait.

Those are some of the most blingtastic LCA's I've seen. Doesn't necessarily mean they are well engineered, but they sure do look nice.

Do you want bling or performance? LCA's like those with poly on both ends will introduce bind in the the 3-link's articulation. The bind will also lead to rather quick failure of the poly bushings if you do any corner carving. Been there, done that with a set of poly/poly tubular LCA's before I got a set with a rod end on one end.

If you want performance, go with something that has a rod end on one end, or better yet for a street/track machine, one of the UMI LCA's with the Roto-Joint (basically a rebuildable rod end with delrin races that are supposed to quiet things down a bit).

wow they took off as much material off the LCA as possible. Interesting to know if they FEA or some analysis tool to determine if they are able to take off that much material while still keeping the structural ability of them.

This. Go get some Poly/rod LCA's and call it a day. They arent as loud as people make them out to be. Windows down or radio on or with the back seats up you hear nothing. I am partial to my BMR ones
