quick disconnects

I would like to get some quick disconnects for my front sway bar. I know that JKS are supposibly the best but I was wondering do you really need a good brand? Ive seen the crappy rough country one for lik 50 bucks compared to 125 for JKS. Also Where should I look to get some?

JKS are by far the quietest ones I've seen. Rough Country make some pretty wicked clunks on the road. I've heard Teraflex do that as well, though maybe not as bad. As long as you keep the JKS discos greased up, they do very well.

I have the JKS Quicker Disconnects. They are easy to disconnect, and they are adjustable, which came in real handy when I bent my front skid plate and couldn't lower my swaybar back down. I got them from JeepinOutfitters.

So what are the down sides of getting a cheap brand (somthing besides JKS)?

as i said, if you cant afford the JKS go with the RE gen2 quick discos, in my opinion they are the next best things.
