Whiteline front drop links?
I currently have the spherical type front Whiteline drop links on my 04 STI (KLC39 I believe) but they are now past their best as they are knocking a bit (and I’m one of those who doesn't like noises that shouldn't be there 
)
I also have a whiteline front anti roll bar fitted. Now from what I can see the KLC39 are around £80 for the pair which seems a bit of a rip off for what they are, if they would last then I wouldn't mind as much but I suspect some months down the line the same thing will happen again, so.....
I still have the original ARB/drop links but from asking a previous question on here is would seem you can't put the original drop links on with the whiteline ARB as the drop links will end up breaking. So I thought about putting the original ARB back on too as I’m not bothered what ARB's are on it, my questions are:
1) Will fitting the original ARB & drop links have any effect on the suspension setup/geometry (Tein suspension & Anti Lift kit fitted)?
2) The bracket that’s used to hold the ARB bush to the chassis, is the same bracket used for either ARB/bush, or is a larger bracket required to accommodate the whiteline bush? (just want to make sure the bracket that’s currently on there fits the original bush).
Cheers

Contact cusco kid on here and get a set of short straight poly bushed links, my old Whiteline links are rusting away on the garage floor.

About the same cost, but fit and forget. Whiteline replaced mine under warranty, but the new ones (with regular servicing) still made an awful racket after a few months.

I had the rose jointed KLC39 ones on mine, and they rattled really badly, sounded like something was gonna fall off any second.
The poly bushed ones you need are KLC32 (not KLC30, these are for classic), much quieter and as dunx said fit and forget.
had mine for £85 while i was in powerstation getting the geo done, but around £90 ish posted.
