Panhard rod & control arms

Looking to buy adjustable panhard rod & control arms with adj control arm brackets...

Some of the companies I've looked at so far are:

LG Motorsports

BMR Fabrications

RKSports

Hotchkis

GlobalWest.

Has anyone upgraded their stock parts with any of these manufacturers? If so, your feedback would be greatly appreciated. Even if you replaced your stock stuff with another manufacturer, let me know your opinion.
Thanks!

I would ask what you plan is with your car.

I have BMR lca's, stb, pnhard, but I bought them before I started doing the road course stuff.

I have LG G2 springs and harness bar.

Knowing what I know now, I would have bought it all from LG Motorsports. They know there stuff and are great people to deal with.

I want a great handling car! My main interests are hitting the corners with all the stability and control as possible. Drags are fine, and, I want to get to the point where I could go to Willow Springs over here in Southern California & work on my lap times. I haven't installed my LG Motorsports subframes with the v-braces yet. I have had GREAT experiences with LGMotorsports, so they are probably who I am going to use.
RKSports is another great bunch of guys that I have worked with before, so either way I think I'll be in great shape.
BMR Fabrications??? I heard that the quality is great...

Hotchkis? Hey, they started this whole thing, didn't they? I noticed that they do not offer adjustable control arm brackets like the other guys, so this MAY mean that the other guys have evolved & Hotchkis hasn't...Any thoughts?

Not much info on Global West.

I have the LG Motorsports lightweight aluminum LCA's and PHB with double rod ends. They are lighter than stock. I have 6K+ miles on them and they are quiet so far. They are really nice parts. I don't think they have them on the site yet, but call Lou and he will hook you up.

Whatever you get, buy good rod ends or they will make noise.
