Upgrading your sway bar drop links

I instruct people at track events. One of the things I teach is: what the car feels like when a link is broken. I purposely remove a link from the front and have them do a session, then remove a link from the back. Most drivers don't like surprises.

The stock ones break. These will break. Nobody sues Porsche when their plastic ones break (that I'm aware of) and doubt anyone will sue if one of these break.

I highly suggest ANYONE tracking their cars to "test" with and without a link attached. Get used to the feeling so it does not surprise you when one does fail.

I just started AXing with my stock '99 Boxster and plan on doing it more. Would you mind sharing with us newbies to the sport what it is we should be hearing, feeling or seeing when a drop link fails? Thanks from a novice who's having fun with his car.
