Sam! Waiting for you to chime in. What do you think of these LCAs then? What should i do to quiet them down besides keep my mouth shut from complaining? If you say they should be this noisy then, thats i guess what i have to deal with. Other than that, ill entertain any kind of ideas that you have. Ive been waiting to hear from the authority. Mostly sure its from the LCAs not the watts.

If you are having noise, I doubt it is from the watts link. Mine is totally quiet on my daily driver. They are made with high quality rod ends & should be quiet for a very long time.

As for rod ended lowers, you have to expect some noise due to the shock loads on them from every bump in the road. If you invest in some very expensive teflon lined rod ends, it will be much quieter, but expect periodic replacement to keep it that way.

I have another car with rod ends in every suspension point front & rear & it sounds like you dropped a handfull of quarters on a concrete floor when you hit a bump. The price you pay for function over comfort...

You could try a higher end rod-end. QA1's are tough, but not the most tight tolerance wise. Might want to look at an Aurora or FK. I'm sure it's just rod-end noise.
