The rip off of Motor Trend's name alone has me wondering about their validity.

Ok, clearly is cheap, but I dont believe if it is enough to qualify as trash or bad quality.

If you compare with a PERRIN rear end link the cost differencis is around usd 100 (usd 85 vs 185), in my case I need to add customs tax, shipping cost to Argentina, etc etc....in case of Perrin end link the total cost is aprox usd 300 , for a pair of rear end link....for that reason I am evaluating others alterntives

I just bought PERRIN adjustble rear and front sway bars (22mm / 19mm), in order to close this mod I am looking for a kit of rear end link and not spend much money for this, but this not mean to buy a trash

Let me tell you a story about how my friend nearly died because his Riceland (Raceland) coilovers failed on the freeway.
Buy once, cry once.

Is your car lowered?

Some folks change sway bar using OEM links, all depending on hight ride.
