Thank you for the reply
The reason I ask is that everyone that I ever asked who had the CDF set up only had praise for it,that's why my wife has ordered the whole CDF set up for her car.i will have to wait and see but I'm still confident that it should definitely be fit for purpose.SJ.

We decided not to make our bushes with a radius as there can be too much movement, our bushes are straight but because of the spec of the bush there is still enough play to have a little movement ,
SJ These are what you need, if you are not happy with the quality and how they perform money back guarantee no quibbles

Bonesetter is correct. The rear droplink will move away from the 90° angle as soon as the suspension moves up or down. The nature of polyurethane is that is not really compressible like rubber. If the alloy housing of drop link bush is straight, and fitted with a straight bush, it will act as a suspension travel limiter.
For the droplink to be able to move in the correct angles, the bush housing needs to be machined with a radius and fitted with a bush that fits the radius. That way the polyurethane will be able to 'flow' and the droplink will allow full bump and/or rebound travel.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to see on the outside of the droplink if the design is correct, without taking the bushes out. But as a rule, any droplinks with a 'top-hat' bush fitted cannot move in the correct angle, purely because polyurethane won't allow the movement.
The previously mentioned 'play' should not be present in any droplink.

What about the SuperPro droplinks?
I was thinking on them for replacing my OEMs. They look almost the same than originals to my eyes. Just a little chunkier overall and alloy made (and purple, of course
). They also look similar to the Whiteline ones in terms of construction.
Here's a couple of pictures to illustrate my post:
