Default OEM Plastic Sway Bar Links lasted less than a week with Nuespeed Rear Sway Bar
Snapped the passenger side one in half and the driver side one is now resting against the axel and melting itself apart.

Time to order the upgraded ones (Metal)from ECS Tuning!

Default PureMS has some metal ones made by Moog... Quite Good.
Well Made, and very, very low-cost.

My Plastic ones lasted a week too =-).
