They're only really necessary if you're not going for new toe bolts. If you get the mid links then you want a lockout kit. It's really just there for toe adjustment. If you get toe bolts you don't need the mid links unless the toe bolts don't get you enough adjustment (which shouldn't be an issue if you're looking for reasonable geometry).
Thats what I thought too, but according to SPL toe bolts are prone to slip if you track the car. Any one experience this slippage issue?

Yes, technically. One strategy that some people use is to mark where their bolts are and to check it before each race day. If you go with the mid arms they lock in and are less prone to slip. The slip is very minor though and, if you're streeting your car, should be taken care of during your normal alignment interval anyway.
