Drop Links
 

I've just had my Wagon set up @ SkidMarques for fast road/mild track use.
During the few hours I was there, Damien noticed that my front drop links were a bit worn.
I've been looking at replacements for the original nylon ones but, I thought I'd gather a few views on the alternatives; original nylon type, Whiteline (or similar) cast/solid type or Whiteline Wire type.
What are peoples' experiences of the alternatives?
Thanks

CDF make decent droplinks, check out the group buy deal they are currently holding

I've got proflex drop links on mine. Not had any issues.

Whiteline always looked cheap to me.... my Perrin ones were desk ornaments for a couple of weeks before i could bring myself to fit them :)

Whiteline finish isn't always as good as some, but the engineering is proven.

I assume it's not an STi? The STi has steel droplinks. While you're at it, swap the rear ones for alloy items, as well.

wouldnt go for the rose jonted whiteline jobbies..mine fell apart rather quickly because of road dirt and salt etc...

Hi Guys
Thanks for your replies.
I've already got Whiteline ARB & ALK fitted (I agree the finish isn't great - very rusty after just 2 years!).
The CDF stuff look reassuringly expensive too.
I'm just wondering if these 2 makes are the best and you get what you pay for.
Or, are the original type or alternative 'wire' types are any good?
This link here shows a variety of types & prices that are the reason for my confusion...

Whiteline over the CDF IMO. The CDF stuff is decent quality but fit isn't always the best. If your stock ones are worn, just replace with oem STI items. They're ball jointed and are as strong as they come. Also inexpensive compared to alloy items. The rear oem links are plastic and flexible, but the fronts are steel and have little give if any anyway.

I've got whiteline arb and antilift kit and cdf drop links can fault either product.
