WANTED: FRONT SOLID DROPLINKS !!!

I have an STi 5 with the alloy wishbones and the 'balljoint' type d/l's.

So I need solid droplinks (with polyurethene bushes) - e.g. Whitelines, or whatever - to replace this type of d/l.

Anyone?

I've got a set of whiteline links with brand new bushes, one is perfect and on the other one of the bushes is a bit loose if they're any good?

Bugger. That loose bush will sort of make that link, in effect, 'junk' won't it? i.e. too much play in it thus negating the whole point of fitting it.

I think I'll pass thanks, but really appreciate your up front honesty.

Yeah thats why I now have a set of cdf droplinks fitted, the bushes are brand new and were only fitted for a very short time so if you get a set of droplinks but need some new bushes give me a shout

Be careful with 2nd hand links, to look the ones I bought you can't see anything wrong with it, only when its fitted does it show, I wish I hadn't bothered now

Thanks Stu

Typically though, only just seen your post and have therefore just missed out on the 10% lol.

Also, I already have the rear WL 'thick wire/poly' rears, so only need fronts anyway...

Damn! lol

Brill - I thought I already heard that on here (hence me not getting some, when I originally bought both WL ARBs + rear d/ls).

At least I'll have a pool of 4 to choose from when the ARBs get fitted (as they're also currently attached to the unfitted front WL ARB too
