Hello all - The title pretty much says it all. I'm ordering front stabilizer bar end-links for my friend's 2012 Sonic. Rock Auto has a variety. He's had bad luck with Brand X sourced locally, so I recommended OEM. The local dealer he tried was pretty pricey - C$82 each, plus tax, IIRC, so I've volunteered to order them through RA.

AC Delco = C$14.27 each
GM Genuine = C$25.32 each
Is the GM Genuine product that much better than the AC Delco? Obviously it would be better to save the $20+ if possible.
As well, I should mention that, for whatever reason, the Sonic eats these end links. My friend had a set replaced under warranty, which only lasted a year or two, then another set installed by Midas post-warranty. They only went a year or so, and then we did another set about a year and a half ago, and now these ones are knocking over speed bumps, etc. So I want to buy something that will last.
Thanks all!
