Default Superflex joint vs. normal rubber bushing

I need to replace the upper control arms. Right now my longarms aren't on and i'll be running the adj uppers with aftermarket longer(but still short) arms. I plan to get the longarms back on early next season. I was lookign at gettign the rock crawler ones from motion offroad (http://motionoffroad.com/catalog/ind...roducts_id=349) especially because they are on sale right now.

The question is that would they be alright, since they have the have the better joint in them, it won't hurt to have the superflex joint with the radius arms any will it?

(its a RE LA kit)

I can't see how it will matter. Still does the same thing, just a different joint style. 161 seems high for uppers... Doesn't IRO makes some nice ones for $129; they might be lowers tho.

I picked these up on the Black Friday sale. I think they'll be just fine with my johnny joint equipped lowers.

everythign seems to be crazy expensive up here compaired to in the states. For example to get a set of the correct RE uppers northridge wants over 300$, which is why the 161 looked cheap to me.

I may look into the ironman ones, but once it gets to the border, i need to calculate borderfee's and the exchange in aswell. theres always a mystery 50$ or so when it arrives to my door from the states
