Awesome! I've been reading about the LCA's with roller bearings, but they're like $400 too. Makes sense to me though, on a suspension that moves for and aft, there should not be just a solid mount bushing. It works as is... but could be better.

Yeah, I can't believe what they charge for them. It is flat out robbery. $375??? It's a freakin' bar with an adjustable end! And the Roller Perches? $180? COME ON!

They should be $125-150 for the adj. struts and $75-100 for the perches. It's almost a joke.

I priced out a set of roller perches, ajd. strut rods, GT front springs (stock height), and 1" sway bar... $890 shipped from Street or Track. Global West was even higher. I shat my pants a little and didn't proceed with the order for now...

Shocks are CRAZY for these cars too. Koni, bilstein, etc are all in the $5-$600 range. Are you kidding me? I went with the KYB GR2 off fleabay ~$100. I also got new dorman upper and lower control arms. I got new arms because they were only a few bucks more than all new ball joints and bushings? Strange.
