Has anyone used BadZ LCA's?

I've read nothing but good things about them on LS1.com. They are supposed to be extremely strong, light, and make no noise at all. I just ordered a set so I guess I'll find out in a week or so. Just wondering if anyone here has used them.

I've got them. Very lightweight and pretty good quality. In hindsight, I probably could've made a set myself for less, but oh well.

I don't own his stuff (or know the guy at all), but I came across this thread randomly today from a memeber of frrax.com, an f-body autocross/road race forum. Why do you think Spohn runs QA-1 rod ends now? http://home.columbus.rr.com/trackbir...lca_thread.htm

I've used all types of ends on LCAs and panhards in my different f-bodies. For me, I will either use stock, or I will spend the extra money to get a unit with QUALITY rod ends. My personal preference in Unbalanced Engineering.

I just put on their panhard bar, and that thing is awesome. It's probably way overengineered, but I really don't want a part breaking on me while I'm going through a high speed sweeper at the track. There prices are higher, but that's due to the higher cost of good rod ends. They have some really good info on their site:

They look similar to the DIY ones that were posted here a while ago...

The only issue I may have with those are the Rod-ends... $140 barely covers 4 QA1 endura series rod-ends with jam nuts. Thus they must be some sub-standard rod ends that WILL get noisy fairly quickly.

That's what I originally thought, but I saw people on LS1.com praising them and saying that they made less noise than any other brands out there, that's why I wanted to give them a try.
