what is the consensus for us guys who will do "spririted" street driving, and NO track events? are these Design911 drop links okay?

I mean, I might track my car once a year, and if/when I do, I'm a novice driver, NOT driving at a truly competitive pace.

am I setting myself up for some major failure/possible crash by getting these cheaper drop links? will the Tarretts make the car handle any BETTER or is it just that the Tarretts are better made and will last longer/not break/not rattle?

it sounds like upgrading my drop links will make a nice improvement in handling feel - for a reasonable price - which is what I"m after. If I can accomplish the same thing for $200 instead of $500, I'm all for saving a buck, but not if it TRULY is a safety hazard.

are these pretty easy to put in? if I did go with the cheaper set, and developed a rattle, i assume the bolts/hardware is easy to get to from under the car and could be tightened up relatively simply???

thanks for any input!
