Bang For Buck LCA/PHB's?

Can anyone recommend some good bang for the buck LCA/PHB's Brands? Reading a lot of the posts here it seems like Chrome Moly rod ends are the way to go for both... or is it overkill for a daily driver?

I'm finding it quite confusing with all the options out there (Poly, Poly/C.Moly combo etc..). Hoping someone can shed some light on the options for all of these and hopefully recommend some brands I won't be dissapointed with!

Cars a convertable so Road noise isn't that big of a deal... (unless its really bad?)

Wow the prices there look great -
How do you guys feel about the LCA's with the Poly/Rod End combo?
Is it too harsh for a daily driver?

Do Poly's squeek or last as long as rubber bushings?

The poly/rod combo is very quiet and you will not notice and harsh or noisy ride. It may be a firmer ride but not all the rattling like some other brands. The Qa1 rod ends make all the difference in the world and are well worth the extra money. Poly bushings last a long time, I would say longer then rubber will hold up. Poly will hold up better to road debris much better then rubber.

The poly/rod combo seems to be a good compromise for a daily driven, track or auto x car.
