Don't see why they wouldn't, look for yourself but i'm under the impression it's just a beefier/better version of the stock part

Definitely, and when it comes to OEM or aftermarket i'll usually sway to the latter.
And heck, I may need to rethink my career choice

speaking of witch, anyone have a writeup? Is there anything I need to look out for? I know I can reuse the bolts, although they say not to. I also have my thread locker (blue locktight).
Looks like im going to need a jack for the car next and some stands.

I will be using the supplied instructions and the Taco Bill write up. The bolts are NOT TTY but reusable with blue loctite. Wife is still wondering where the Christmas present money is coming from.

Keep in mind these have rubber bushings!!!! Not poly or solids!!! While it will be an upgrade in strength, putting the power to the ground will be similar to stock control arms. There will be room to wiggle, unlike a harder bushing.

My thoughts too. I wonder if the rubber bushings are replaceable. With most of the other poly bushing LCA's, if the bushings crack or fail, you just put new bushings in. Otherwise with these, like the stock arms, when the rubber fails, you replace the entire unit.

The Roush piece uses the hard rubber bushing for that reason, Poly ones do fail, have noise, need lubrication, and get over tightening at times. The rubber is a higher quality piece than the factory OEM rubber and is more rigid obviously. They use them on their cars, so I will be happy.
