1st Gen with Ridetech Airbar: Get Link Bars with Poly or Heim joints?
 
For those that have installed this setup would you recommend getting poly or heim joints for the links bars? The car will be mostly street driven, but I would eventually like to autocross it some. I have heard the heim joints can be noisy and only necessary for a car that will be autocrossed a lot.

With all the Ridetech installs around here I figured someone would chime in.

I was hoping someone would chime in too...curiosity mainly since I've already order my 4 link with Heim joints.

In reality you can use either. If you're really going to chase the autocross and road course thing, use the heim ends. They eliminate the last little bit of flex and allow that last little bit of articulation. Our heim ends are Kevlar lined and stay tight and rattle free.
If you're doing a few events per year, just stick with the poly ends. They do eliminate just a little nvh over the heim ends, but it's pretty minimal.
