Default Eibach or Whiteline ARBs?

Has anyone fitted the Eibach ARB kit to their classic? They do a kit that includes 23mm front, 24mm rear and what looks like front droplinks for approx £300 (Revolution) I was going to call and ask if the kit does include the front links.

I know the recommended set up for a classic appears to be 22mm front and 24mm rear. As 2 x Whiteline ARBs are a similar price what are better value?

I have read on here that the Whitelins ARBs seem to corrode rather quickly - what about the Eibach kit?

Thanks

Couldn't be worse, mine are rotten scabby things now.... If they are adjustable, get them, I suggest it's better to be able to make the car handle how you like it, rather than a fixed bar.

IMHO

My Eibachs are spot on for both handling and the finish is as new - the ones I had on my old golf did 6 years without a hint of corrosion.

Mr Terzo, are your eibach ARBs adjustable or fixed position?

I guess the only way to find out is to call Eibach!!

there fixed but to be honest never ever thought that they ever needed to be adjustable as the handling is spot on . i also have eibach pro street s coilovers and solid droplinks all rounds and a few other goodies fitted

i would advise changing the arb mounts as one of mine snapped i believe because of the extra stress the arb places on the mounts. i fitted perrin solid stout mounts(£105) and have had no more trouble
