Sway Bar drop link
Currently installing ROW M030 suspension with some RSS bits tossed in.
After 115K miles, my sway bar drop links have seen better days.
Looking for a recommendation on upgraded drop links.
Any suggestions?

Not trying to dissuade you, but I don’t think M030 is going to require adjustable drop links. The oem Febi Bilstein ones are very inexpensive...

Would there be no noticeable performance difference using the (seemingly) higher quality units from one of the above manufacturers?

I’m not qualified to answer that.
My opinion is that the drop links perform a simple role. If the stock size parts are the right length, they’re no better or worse than the others. If the suspension height preloads the anti-sway bar, then the adjustable length parts would allow you to dial out the preload, so it would be beneficial. For a track car, lowered excessively, this would almost be essential. For a street car lowered 20mm, I don’t suspect it would be worthwhile.
But, I don’t have any real expertise here, this is just my opinion.

Looks like I'll be buying stock replacements
Thanks for the tech tip!

My 996 C2 is lowered 33mm with Techart Suspension.
I used Tarret in the rear and new Porsche in the front.
The rear bar was easily adjusted using the Tarret rear drop links.
