Default 1997 classic, which front arb links for alloy bottom arms?

Good afternoon,
Just a quick one, which front arb links do I need when fitting alloy lower arms to my 1997 classic uk turbo2000? I've been told I need newage one's but which are the correct ones as I've seen people having problems with the hd ball joint type ones.
Thanks, Andy.

If be interested in this too, my car is exactly the same as yours. Any benefit to having alloy arms?

I'd imagine there's a stiffness advantage which would result in better feedback from the front wheels. Personally I bought them because a, they were going for a song, b, I'm building a track day toy and c, the original steel one's look a bit manky!

Its got to be the balljoint type bud i'm currently looking at ebay for whiteline kits and they all seem to be the solid type which is a frustration i changed my front ones a few year back with oe import parts and think they're on the way out so if i was you i would be thinking uprated all the way lol
