Aparantly there is no difference in performance but you can get non-whiteline Alloys for about the same as the Whiteline steels, e.g powerflex, hardrace etc.

ive got a price of £112 for a set of rear drop links and front ball jointed type for my classic 1995 wrx,it has the alloy front arms hence the ball jointed type.

they are made by powerflex and are stainless steel

The ball jointed fronts can be very noisey and tend to knock after a very short period of time.
