I would say Eibach. See my post above yours re the whiteline ones. I have e-mailed them so will see what they say about their quality.

Whiteline are very good for the money and of course are so so popular.
Eibach imho look better, are certainly protected better, but have the price premium attached to them. I went Whiteline as I only wanted a 22mm rear ARB and nothing bigger as I didnt change my front either for my driving.

Hmm, I asked a similar question not so long ago and I have decided to go down the Eibach route - not sure about the "price premium" comment, the eibach front and rear kit with bushes and front droplinks is about £300 (Revolution) and the Whitelines are very similar at around £140/£150 fr/rr.

Guys I heard back from Whiteline.
This is there reply:
Being an Australian brand, early manufacturing processes never considered Northern hemisphere climates, such as snow and salt on roads (we just don’t have such weather in OZ). With a surge in demand product was moved into foreign markets and not long after issues like yours occurred.
Since such time continual improvements have been made to materials, manufacturing processes and finish aswell as new testing procedures to eliminate such issues.
