Edit: I’m not trying to say that the arms will not break. But, I’m more than willing to “field test” them and provide a feedback if they break.

Odds are that they won't break and I, for one, and I'm sure everyone here certainly hopes they won't. I just don't think the EPS bushing is a good design. I'd stick with ones that keep the original ball bushing design.

If the EPS is ruled out as an option and folks don't like the standard OEM is there a " better than OEM " part available ? Same ball design but heavier duty/longer lasting ?

I have the EPS arms on the front of my 2002, and they haven't broken and killed me so far. I bought them because I thought they would have less deflection under heavy braking. Since I track the car, that sounded like a good thing.
