Whilst the links look great on the post by Icer006, they will not last on a road car because the ball joints are completely exposed to the elements. These are race parts meant for limited mileage and VERY regular inspection.

This type of joint, known as a "rose" joint needs rubber seals fitted either side of the joint. Like the lower joint on this sway bar link.

Actually, it's hard to see from the pics but the dog-bones have a teflon seal/lining.

This similar config are run on race AND road Porsches without any issues.
