There is zero downside to heim joints in your suspension arms outside of a little increased maintenance. The performance is miles ahead of rubber. If you?re gonna cry about nvh run urethane subframe bushings.
I think what we/they are after is being able to drive a significantly low street car (see: good looks while maximizing comfort where possible - not all out lap time performance) without having fucked roll center so the car is still fun/effective when spirited driving.
