Default Uprated rear drop links - Type R?

1 of my standard rear drop links is broken so I thought it would be a good time to uprate them, problem is, I cant seem to find anything uprated.

The rear ARB links on mine are like these on ebay

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2302255383...84.m1423.l2649

Does anyone know of something better? Thanks

call me a numpty but i've googled and searched etc but cant find anything by whiteline that looks like it will fit. Plenty of the wire ones or C shape ones but nothing for a Type R.

Link anyone?

Everything you need is here.

http://www.scoobyparts.com/acatalog/Whiteline.html

These are the drop links..

However I'd just fit these. Do just as good of a job and half the money, they just don't look as fancy.

Cheers matty, but the 2nd ones down look nothing like whats on the car at the moment (the ones in the ebay link I posted) so I dont get how these are going to fit. Ive got an arb link with 2 ball joints, 1 at each end, pointing in opposite directions. Anyone with pics of these uprated ones fitted to a type r?

I'm going to double check at the weekend, but i'm pretty sure they are the balljoint type.

I'll post a pic when i've had a look.
