Getting the Wheeling Fever

Good to know they are loved. I just looked up stock replacements, and they run $270 for a pair without shipping (I only looked at one site). The OME are $225 for the pair, sans shipping. I wonder what the difference in performance is? Do the torsion bar ever break? I would imagine the mounting hardware would ware out before the bar itself, but I'm not an expert.
