Front LCA's

I've gone through two sets on either side of the factory LCA's, the rear bushings keep tearing. Since I'm out of bumper to bumper coverage, the next set is on me.

I've been researching and I've found 4 options to go with:

Steeda makes a factory style with longer balljoints and poly bushings
BMR has a tubular option
Kenny Brown has unit that appears to be a bit of both
Ford Racing has the 302S modules and bushings ($$$$)

Otherwise I could look at the whiteline or steeda bushing kits, but those appear to be a ton of hellacious work to change.

Can I get some feedback, has anyone tried any of these options? Looks like bang for buck is with Steeda's part, but its hard to say what the result would be with the EPAS system on a brembo car

You're in between a rock and a hard place. The steeda option is the best one, but the EPAS might act up and you're out another grand plus labor.
You really have to weigh getting another stock replacement, unless its a track-car that you can afford to drop 1.5k on.

I have read a few places that the whiteline kit only works on the 05-10 cars since they have hydraulic steering. Might have to upgrade to the 302S steering rack/module.

I'm going with Kenny Brown when I eventually upgrade.
