Paul contacted me so I will give him a call today and see what is up. AGAIN guys, this is not a bashing thread, I wanted the community to know what was going on and my frustration with the links and get an idea on how to permanently fix it. I am sure Paul will take care of me.
When I fitted the larger, beefier links I had to drill out my stock sways...H&R sways are next.

If you were to talk about Nissan, I hope you know that we have our own Nissan S15 that we track and even broke track record at Button Willow which we beat 996 GT3 cup car.
You can't say that people with Nissan don't like our product just because they prefer cheaper MSRP, its only because they are made in China and their MSRP is lower than our manufacturing cost.

I just spoke with Paul this morning and am going to send him pictures tonight. He was very helpful on the phone and seemed eager to find out what my issue/s are. Personally I don't have a problem if something I buy breaks. As long as the company who made it is willing to stand by their product and give support after the purchase then I think we can all agree that is probably the best we can expect. Even Stock porsches are not without their flaws and issues....

I am not on JIC links but JRZ with everything associated (full suspension etc) and I broke mine...really, when you have certain systems and you turn the wheel lock to lock (some parking situations) and so on...you put ALOT of stress on the links and in conjuction with the car being lowered, can be enough stress to snap them. That said, having a PRO shop check things out and set the car up is also crutial to everything lasting as long as possible and to their max performance potential.
