Default Which drop links?

Looking to replace me OE ones to suit fast road and occasional track use. Looking at either CDF or Whiteline, which would you recommend? Are the C shape links more solid and better than the twisted steel ones which Whiteline offer both off?

Cheers in advance

Both are good
I have had both CDF and Whiteline stuff on my cars

In actual fact go for CDF - As you will be supporting a Kent business

Yeah I saw that and am thinking of doing it, just wanted to do a bit of research before committing as I'm not 100% on the different styles/shapes of link.

I'm going to see chris cdf tomorrow, and picking up new droplinks all round with a 22mm front bar and a 24mm for the back. Then I just need time to fit them!

Fit them yourself and spend the money saved on an anti-lift kit.

make sure whichever flavour you buy that you get the correct fitment for your particular car - the d/links change a few times over the years

He's only away for a couple of weeks I think, but when he gets back he's hoping to have 0% finance available on his website!

Pm bonesetter, he will give you his advice on them, as you need them to flex to certain tolerances. (rock solid is not always good)
