GW Front Lower control arm spherical bearings
I have a set of spherical bearings for my front lower control arms that I bought a while ago and was planning on installing them.
Anybody have experience with this kit from GW?
Will it wear out fast? How about road noise? Maybe rust being a problem?
Any comments welcome.

I never had their front kit, but I had a set of their rear LCAs with dual spherical bearings(there very similar).
Never had a problem with rust, road noise is a little sharper(I've got rod-end frt A-arms now), but not bad at all.
I had them for around 7yrs before they started to get noisy, but once they started they quickly got loud. IMO, I would think you'd be good for at least 5yrs.

Thanks for your comments, Bluz28 I am debating between this kit and the ES POLY front control arm kit.
I remember reading a thread a few years ago where some front A arms broke because the vertical poly bushings would bind.

I read somewhere (on another Camaro website) that ES revised the rear vertical poly bushing, but I can't confirm it.
