No problems and they have been on the car for 4 years.

You can get them from Summit and they are considerably cheaper than most others.

I have both and they work fine for me.
Make sure you take your time removing the Panhard rod bolts.
I ended up breaking one of mine and had to go buy new ones.
5 bucks for 5 bolts(they don't sell them seperately) and the nut was approx. $20 each (something about it being a special thread size)

I didn't have to buy the nut because I had a similar one laying around.

On the up side, I have four bolts left....if anyone needs one let me know and I'll mail one out to ya.

I've got them as well, just make sure you torque the bolts up for the LCA's properly, I had one somewhat loose and it started to make noise, after about 2 years. No problems otherwise

I have the Lakewood arms on my car right now and I think they are a great product, and I will eventually invest in their panhard rod.

I think Lakewood makes some pretty good quality stuff at a dirt cheap price. BMR and Sphoon are still the suspension kings of the 4th gen, nice to know there is some cheaper, yet quality competition.
