A lot of money and not worth it on the street. Why do you need a tubular LCA?

They look like a nice piece, i think they are about 350 or 400 bucks though. Don't spherical bearings tend to wear quickly on the street though,with speedbumps and potholes and that *****?

Yup. But any advantages for a street car are minimal.

they should make for a vicious ride and they don't allow for a roll bar, if that matters.

Which can be overcome with increased spring rate.

Saving 24 pounds over the front of the car always caught my interest.
As do the sphericals.
