I haven't seen failures on any of the LCA's on this car out there, they all appear safe for hard use, STX legal cuts you down to 5 options:
SPC w/ a replacement bushing for the spherical bearing
Whiteline appears legal in it's current config with the pressed in bushing
Racer-X
RS*R, honestly forgot about this one until Okie mentioned it
Velox, most expensive, lightest
I've got the Racer-X, pretty happy with it, I like how accessible the adjuster is, the rest are tucked into the subframe and you have to locate each threaded end asymetrically it looks like. Whichever you choose make sure it's got a polyurethane bushing, not metal per STX rules. Local events nobody should care, but if you start competing at a national level it's an easy disqualification.
Threaded adjustment on the RacerX, rsr, velox are convenient and makes things nice and repeatable if you're doing your own alignment, the cam adjustment on SPC/Whiteline will be a little less precise but no less effective, if you don't plan on doing your own alignment I'd pick the SPC/Whiteline.
