So I've looked at all the rear LCA's MM offers, and I'm torn between the spherical ends or urethane bushings (MMRLCA-31 vs MMRLCA-5). Will one provide more traction compared to the other? Will the spherical LCA's last longer than the urethane? I goto the track maybe once every 2-3 months, so I don't know if it's worth the extra money for the spherical. What do you guys think?

You don't want urethane on both ends unless you only plan on going fast in a straight line.

Urethane on both ends will result in more bind.

So which MM rear LCA's have urethane AND spherical ends? Or would that be a bad combo as well?

MMLRCA-5 is urethane/spherical with spring perch and swaybar mount.

Thanks for the info . I thought MMLRCA-5 had urethane on both ends but I guess not!

I don't think MM sells LCA's with urethane bushing on both ends. Their 2 options are urethane bushings on body side w/ spherical on axle end, and spherical on both ends. I'd suggest the urethane/spherical LCA's, I have them and love them. I think spherical bushings on both ends would be too rough and loud for a street car.

Get the HD not the XD's trust me I got the XD's for the amount of drag racing and the power level I'm at and the increase vibrations and road noise drive me nuts.

BTW have seen 0 improvement in my 60' time, but my cornering has increased.
