Question Drop links by Design911 question

I am thinking of upgrading my stock drop links, '02 2.7, by purchasing a "reasonably" priced set from a UK outfit called Design911. I have heard that these have weak Heim joints and are subject to snap off failure, not a desirable trait for sure. Have any of you had experience, good or bad, with these links or the UK outfit that you would care to relate? Any insight welcomed.

An inexpensive price for drop links with rod ends can be indication of quality. On the other hand, a high price isn't necessarily an indication of quality.

If you can spec the components (thread, bolt size, drop link dimensions, etc.), you can purchase the pieces here:

Most companies have 3-5 levels of rod end quality, depending on your load capacities. Aurora and NMB other manufacturers also sell quality rod ends.
