I had Whiteline stuff fitted to my old Bugeye WRX. Its was good quality and I had no issues with it.

I'm fitting Perrin suspension items to my Blobeye STI though. In my opinion Perrin parts are of superior quality but more expensive. You pay for what you get I suppose. In terms of driving feel I can't compare yet because the stuff is in the garage awaiting fitment.

Wolfie.

Never used or sold the Perrin bars myself for one very good reason.

The Whiteline bars are made in one solid piece, ie the flat end where the bolts for the drop links go through is "forged" from the actual bar.
The Perrin bars have a flat piece welded on to the end of the bar, although this looks slightly neater and the overall finish of the Perrin stuff is undeniably better I cannot help thinking this weld could be a possible weakness
...........it is at this exact point that ALL the pressure on the bar will be.

perrin products look good to me, finished in red, so you can see what you've spent your hard earned on
i doubt any of us will be able to tell the difference in performance

i bought
whiteline front ARB
rear droplinks
anti lift kit

perrin rear ARB
superpro poly-bush kit

all from NEVERENOUGH AUTO in america,
find them usa ebay

excellent exchange rate now
i saved money (even on 15% discount from demon T), delivered to the door,

Admitedly bias to Whiteline as after 5 years of road and serious competition it simply all works.
