These new arms from Hotpart.com use a poly ball bushing in one end and their Extreme joint bushing design in the other to avoid the binding problems associated with poly/poly (not the poly ball/poly ball) designs.

MSRP: $196.52 plus freight.

Sale price: $159.99 shipped (48 states of the US).

I bought a set of these from Trackbird a few months ago and I really like them. They are a solid piece and fit my needs perfectly. I did not want the NVH issues with rod ends as my car is frequently street driven with the wife and kids. But I occassionally drag race and frequently autocross. I wanted something better than the normal poly/poly bushing which is what I replaced. I have had no noise, NVH issues and they allow much better movement for autocross. My $0.02 worth is that these are high quality LCA's that work very well for street driven vehicles. The sale price is darn good as well.

Do these fit into the ESP SCCA Rules? If so, I'm interested

I'm going to say "no". I'm fairly sure the rule about changing the metallic content of the bushing is going to make these illegal (unless there has been a rule change I've not seen).
