after market toe links?

hi guys,,,,can someone recommend some after market toe links, i was looking at some of them megan racing ones on ebay , are they any good?
Also i noticed the standard toe links look like a pillowball surrounded by a rubber outer,,, i didnt want to go get aftermarket ones if its gonna make the car ride quality harder or noisy? . So im looking for a good replacement for standard (like i say the megan racing ones look nice)??

Pretty sure 'megan racing' is some generic ebay made in china junk, like 'obx' or 'super stone racing.' Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

I run the Rotary Extreme toe links and trailing arms, i got them right before he closed up shop. Didn't make the car ride harder or noisier. See if you can score a set of used or new ones here on the forum.

then click on 'suspension'

The aftermarket toe links usually don't last as long as the stock w/bushings.

It shouldn't make the ride much more harsh (like aftermarket control arm bushings would).

I do believe Megan racing is the cheap eBay junk.

^^Dave is right. Based on what I've read, most aftermarket links/arms have the bushings exposed to the elements/debris, thus they fail early. The RE ones come with dust shields which should prolong bushing life.

Dale Clark recently teamed up with a local shop that now builds custom toe links and trailing arms with sealed bushings:
