Bought some cheap(er) sway bar drop links -- thoughts?

Just ordered a set of USA-made Moog brand front drop links for my 2000 Box S to replace my beat up stock parts.

The alignment shop wanted $102 ea. for TRW OEM links with a 1 year warranty. I found some Chinese made hamburg Tecnics on eBay for $25 ea, but heard bad things (plus they had 1 year warranty, not covering the boots).

Even the OE's don't have a very great track record, from reading on the forums, so was about to go with set of Tarrett (sic) engineering adjustable links (a little more pricy than OEM at $275/pair) since I was already going to be spending a bit, but came across these Moog brand links on Rockauto. They were $60 shipped for the pair, and come with a lifetime warranty.

Moog is a very reputable company that is OE on many domestics, and if this were for my Subaru, I wouldn't think twice about using them. I used a NAPA - sourced water pump and gasket that was a literally a fifth of Porsche cost and have had no problems in the 20k hard miles since (not mention their wanting over $1k for install!)

Are these going to make my Porsche slower or more likely to break again due to not being 10x the cost of comparable "normal" car parts?
