Default rear drop links

honestly is there going to be much difference in my handling if i replace the original plastic items with new plastic ones.

Will alloy drop links change the handling on my 02 bugeye wrx sportwagon.

Does anyone have a decent second hand set for sale cheers.

I had a slightly worn one on the rear of my hawkeye and the rear suspension over time got soooooo noisy, couldn't believe the difference when I had it replaced.

You will notice the difference if the current ones are knackered, whatever the replacement

yes it will make a noticeable difference,most would replace the bar at the same time with fast road geometry making a big difference..
if you replace the rear roll bar and fast road geometry make a big difference, yes

Just replacing good rear drop links with good rear drop links makes sod all difference

Alloy rear drop links are just less likely to snap than the placky ones.
