Default EVO Front LCA's?

Looking for feedback on the EVO LCA's, don't have much experience with the Johnny Joint ride/reliability. How do these arms compare to MC arms, would I notice any more harshness in the ride since they don't have something similar to the Duroflex joint? I will only be running the front lowers for now, so I can't imagine only 2 of the 8 arms making much of a difference in ride quality. Thanks,

If you want good flex and a harsher ride go EVO. If you want good flex yet have a similar riding experience to stock, go MC.

Right, I'm not concerned with either arm give me more or less flex. Stock arms actually provide quite a bit of flex if you remove some pump stop and get longer travel shocks. I guess my main question would be if my ride quality will be noticeably difference between the duroflex joint, and the Johnny joint?

I personally have not tried mc joints. For some dumb reason i love my rod ends/heims... Johnny joints are nice also and ive ran them.

Ah uo to you then. Adjustable on vehicle is nice thing to have but then again it's not hard to just undo a bolt adjust put back in and tighten.

Yes, I like that feature. They look very beefy too. I guess there isn't a lot of people running the EVO's on this forum.
