what about control arm bearings?



The major disadvantage is that if dirt gets in those bearings, they will be
wrecked in short order. They're positioned right there at the bottom of the
car. So, I'd suspect that their service life will be short (but sweet). I'd
go for some nice delrin bushings and make sure that they're well lubricated.

Other than the price, what could be a dissadvantage to a more solid road
feel.  Even for a daily driver.  I was actually thinking about doing this.
And it bolts on the rear beam.
