lowering links from ebay seller lowering links
I was wondering if anyone has used these lowering links, I just got them in the mail today, debating if i should try to put them on myself. Not very mechanically inclined, but tempted to try to put them on myself. I saw some people have posted some links about DIY but pictures don't seem to open.

Are these a good quality, will they rust after being exposed to weather conditions?

I have these on my car very easy to fit just measure the original links carefully, and be very careful removing the original links from the plastic sensor arms as they are easy to break. On the front i would recommend removing the wheel also. Then its easier to remove the small ball joints from the arms using a 10mm ratchet and then pull them out of the original links. Less chance of breaking the plastic arms this way. When replacing the links remember all rear sensor arms point inwards towards the center of the car as these are easy to get wrong.

my mechanic is concerned that these will probably rust since there is no protection from outside elements, he says dirt and water/salt can easily get in there and since there is no geese and rubber booth to protect them they will eventually stop working. Any input on this? Thank you!
