If you go with aftermarket LCAs be prepared for much more NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) from the rear end. The OE bushings are as soft and squishy as they are to quiet and dampen everything from gear- to road-noise getting into the cabin. LCAs with harder bushings with little give will transmit a bunch more of that into the cabin in addition to more vibration and impact (e.g. pothole) harshness.
If you use your car as a daily commuter and aren't looking for 9/10ths drag strip performance and the NVH that often comes with that you might consider keeping the OE LCAs and restoring the quadshocks.

Yes, its tuned off with the SCT.oh and you had Traction Control turned off right?
It's hard to go wrong with MM. Don't go overboard and order a set of HD drag LCAs with spherical bushings at each end or anything like that. You want street performance.

I read posts by a guy names Jazzy and he said not to get poly/poly lcas due them be horrible on the rear suspension. He suggested Poly/spherical, that's what I was gonna get. Should I not?
Even with a mild supercharger on your car, my pick would be brand new OEM bushings in the upper control arms.
My picks for the lowers would be either their sport edition or heavy duty. The Extreme Edition is going be a bit harsh.
Read the descriptions very carefully. They make a point to try and explain the differences.
All of their control arm and bushing combos are heads above the OEM.

I only see their HD and XD versions on their website. They said the XD's were for 400+hp cars or even less or hp but even for occasional hard launches. Then I read on here or somewhere else that my ride quality will suffer from noise and harshness. I don't want that at all. I just don't want that god awful wheel hop or whatever it was. I was going to get the HD ones.

If it were me, I would go with the HD. I'm willing to sacrifice a little road noise for performance in my occasionally driven street car.
If you're installing quad shocks then definitely the sport for a daily driver.
If you're trying to get away from the quad shocks then the HD. Honestly, my exhaust is louder than anything I could get from LCAs. lol

Probably removed them after reading it posted by someone on here that they were worthless.
.....which they are, unless you're trying to avoid things like wheel hop that is.

My Bilsteins came in today. Still waiting for the hardware. Haven't gotten a tracking or shipping confirmation from them yet.
