Thats true, they are certainly tough, and reliable.
But it would be great to find tough and light(er)...ideally without the sphericals too!

I have had them on my car for a bit over two years and daily drive around 60kms a day. I have the urethane bush inner and spherical outer setup with the rubber boots over the sphericals. They have been trouble free so far. I have been on a number of dirt roads with them but nothing too serious as I am lowered with MCA x-c coilovers that aren't great on dirt.

They are significantly lighter than the cast stock items and appear well made. My alignment people say the adjustment is fairly coarse compared to the lower arms they have adjusted.

I do have a new rattle when I turn right coming from the back end but I don't think it is from the upper arms. I thought I should mention it though and will report back when i can verify this.
