G37S sedan front end link recommendations?

I have a '13 G37S sedan that I put Hotchkis sway bars on with Tein Basis coilovers. I also have pretty sticky RE-71R 245 front and 275 rear tires on it.

When I put the sway bars on I remember thinking the front was huge, but thought the end links looked sturdy. I was wrong. After my 1st track day, one of the bushings on the passenger side end link bit the bullet.

I see SPL front end links everywhere and may just end up getting those, but thought I would ask here first for recommendations if anyone has replaced these and had good luck with other brands.

Has anyone had issues with the rear end links giving up the ghost too?

Thanks!

I get the impression the Moog parts are OEM replacement, with the same expected life span. Quite a few people had Whiteline links fail. SPL seems to be the go-to end link.

The Moogs appear "" to be a bit beefier, and do have the zerks

Thanks for the advice. Have you tried the Moogs or heard they wear out quickly like stock when you increase the cornering loads? Not terribly excited about the idea of having to grease my end links all the time.

I wish there was more feedback on those Moogs. I'll probably get them in the near future, but the only tracking I'll be doing is 1/4 mile.
I doubt the zerks would need to be greased often, nice to have that feature though. And it is something w/ easy access so it wouldn't be too much of a PITA.
