Check around for LCAs having a spherical that isn't a rod end. It is possible to DIY-mod a poly end to reduce what little stiffness against roll might remain.

the Boss 302S LCAs fit the spherical that isn't a rod end. They can be rebuilt but are noisy on the street. The Boss 302r's work very well on the street and track but are Polly on both end. I have ran them both. The R LCAs dont bind as much as you would think and don't make any noise. I have the MM LCAs on right now and love them. Did the Kenny Brown trick to them and added a rubber O-ring over the inside spacers and you can't hear a peep out of them.

I have had very good luck with Maximum Motorsports LCAs. They are expensive, but well built and do not clunk after four years of track use. BMR also makes a decent rod end LCA. Both are adjustable.

If you do not need or want adjustable arm, Ford Racing arms are well built with spherical bearings. They will clunk after a bit of use.

I hear a lot of people have success with the max motorsports units. I believe that is because they use the more expensive FK rod ends, where as bmr use a more cost effective rod end which work fine but develop a clunk quickly. I've swapped my bmr rod ends for FK ones which cost as much as the original arm but are probably identical or better than the ends on the max motorsports arms . Time will tell how they do compared to the ones bmr supplied.
