Default droplink recommendations

ive been getting some knocking noises and twitchy steering. shocks are shot so replacing all 4 and thinking of doing all 4 drop links at the same time. whitline look like decent ones but at £170 a set are a bit out my price range.
Can anyone recommend a mid range product for around £100 or less?
does anyone use superpro, floflex, sir, meyle, icp brands? i could be going for superpro on the front and whiteline on the rear.
cheers

Ah sounds good. I will probably go for either those or superpros on the front and whitelines on the rear. Cheers

Would love to if I had the money right now but if there's something else similar out there for a bit cheaper it would be ideal as I'm getting some shocks fitted soon it makes sense to fit drop links at the same time. I've seen some meyle hd front drops for 40 quid but they are like 2 opposite direction ball joints rather than the Whiteline fronts are straight. Both say they fit my car. Confussed now.

Just fitted Super Pro front and rear as supplied by Alyn at As Performance. Knocking now gone and the car feels a lot tighter than before.

Well worth the money. And I know that they will almost certainly out live the car. Just got to change the front arb bushes now, which I am not looking forward to.

Went for meyle on front and cdf racing on the rear. Fitted them at the same time as sti shocks. Knocking gone and holds the corners nicely!
