Default front sway bar links?

got a clunking noise from the front end on my bug sti so have had a look and the drop links need replacing as the rubbers are hard and perished looking. they are whiteline wire ones like these: http://www.whiteline.com.au/product_...sans_vehicle=1 but are these the right ones for my year? when i search for replacements i find these ones : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WHITELINE-...-/261863976120 which ones are correct or can either be fitted? thanks for any info.

I was always under the impression that the alloy arms has the ball joint type?

I know my alloy arm WRX has?

I have these fitted:

Why not just buy the ones you know will fit?

that was my first thought bud but if they were superceded by the other type then they might perform better. with the amount of guys on here who probably have uprated their suspension i was hoping for a few opinions.

What kind or bracket do the attach to on the wishbone arm? The figure of 8 type sit inbetween two brackets (as per my wagon and classic wrx) but the other type have just one attachment point on the arm.
