Heres a pic of their kit which comes with the control arm - i'm talking about the bearings ONLY. More info to come......

Default I wasn't real happy with the sphericals in the GC kit...>>

at 3K mine needed replacing. Axeyrcat is on his 3rd set as I recall. YMMV.

Is this the same as the camber/castor plates, or something else?

Default The sphericals on top of a strut take a much great pounding that those in the rear of the LCA ...

I can tell no difference in harshness with the poly's or OEMs in terms of stiffness. The spherical just seems to make more sense in the rear position since it would prevent side to side movement but allow limited up and down movement. Hell it might even be LESS harsh than stock........

I'm interested, regardless of whether it's "streetable" :-)
