Default Front drop links for 2003 sti (Uk)

Hi, I have had solid (with poly bushes) drop links on my car for the last 6 years - and I think they are the wrong ones! Is this correct and if so should replace them? Have standard roll bars.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

I thought the STI alloy arms had the ball joint style drop links as standard, whiteline offer the solid alloy ones but use spacers to get things to align properly

I have a classic so no expert but I swapped from the solid alloy drop links on my old steel arms to the ball joint type when I switched to alloy arms as I didn't have the spacers.

personally don't like the solid links on alloy arms regardless........for me you should always use the correct ball joint style to allow full articulation
