im in need of new front arb droplinks as mine are knocking so wanted to know whats the best type to go for ? i have the rear whiteline arb and droplinks,anti lift kit,bump steer kit,bc coilovers, and full geometry done a while back.the front arb is standard but will eventually get it changed to whiteline but for now i need droplinks only,what type do you recomend ?

 

The CDF Racing ones are very good quality:

yes they do look nice but would most likely look better if the front were same as rear which are whiteline,cheers tho,carl.


not sure weather to get fixed alloy ones or adjustable rod type ? does adjusting make much difference ?

 

IMHO the sperical rod type aren't suitable for our climate, I bought a pair and fitted and maintained them for a year. At this point the knocking drove me crazy, but Whiteline sent me a 2nd set for free

Even with maintainance these started knocking within a year so I got the KLC 32's (?) which are faultless...

HTH

thanks dunx i was thinking about that as heard a few things about that type.i have similar on rear which have been sound for nearly 2 years so will go the fixed solid type.carl.

 

I agree with Dunx, get the KLC32 (saloon fitment, KLC30 is wagon fitment). The sphericals do get clunky after some use but that's an issue with pretty much any spherical. They still function fine, its just that only a minor amount of play is enough to sound horrible in car. That's why they are for motorsport only. I wouldn't care about clunking endlinks because i'm sure I'd have more noise coming from my exhaust or something else coming in through the stripped interior.

 

It is a particularly horrible "knock" though, I manage to tolerate coilover suspension noise, R888's drone, a noisy exhaust and turbo chatter, BUT couldn't live with the "knock"...

That's really nothing. Fully rose jointed suspension in a stripped car is just painful to listen to if you're not expecting it. Sounds like the car is about to fall apart.

 

That's why I haven't got one...

Cheers guys , i ordered them today from deamon tweaks so be fitting in couple of days.

Got to have wheel bearing done this week too,will this affect the geometry settings at all ? Not sure if removing hub will have an affect ?

 

tell me about it. I don't see how people drive cars like that on the street. Freaks.

 

Had bearing done today and glad i did as it had almost fell apart ! He marked bolts up so as not to alter the geometry too much so my question stands,will the geometry have been affected ? Also when he removed bolts in caliper (brembos)they were over tight and one of the threads had ripped out ! He re tapped it but is this quite common on these alloy brembos ?
