Default Whiteline - Quality?

I have read that Whiteline parts corrode badly after they've been on the car for a while.

Is this what I can expect to see, at the end of the winter?

Is this typical or just a bad example?

Paint is very soft, mine was chipping when I was fitting it.

Apparently it's got better, but my rose jointed front droplinks rotted through in 18 months

When I fitted front and rear Whiteline ARBs I wa suprised how quickly they rusted.
Cosmetically - yeh rubbish, however they do what they say on the tin.

From what I've seen they've really worked on their powder coating and treatment over the last couple of years. Though I haven't had a set on highly salted roads so I can't personally attest to their current long term durability. If you are personally experiencing bad rust issues, I'd suggest contacting Whiteline directly and see what they can do for you.
