So are we doing a group buy or not? I'm very keen, as the supposedly good quality lemforder ones I bought are dead, and the knocking is getting on my tits.

As it seems that there is quite a bit of interest on here for these, but slight disagreements on timing, I have thought of a slightly better plan.
Email us direct on rnd231@gmail.com and quote the code GFYS306 to get your set, delivered to your door, for £60.00.
Please include your Paypal address in the email and we will send you an invoice. Please then include your address with the payment.
Cheers! - Mark
Helps if you read the whole thread

Someone put one up for setting the lengths though iirc.
I've fitted droplinks before but not adjustable. Plus, I'm mechanically retarded.

Cheers Gareth, that's the one I'd seen before.
Well I'm in the middle of fitting them, but they're really well made so I'm pretty chuffed for the price already.
EDIT: Oh cock...don't have a big enough hex key to tighten up the locknuts. Doh.

Just recieved mine. Was well packaged and looks to be good quality stuff. I'd definatley buy from them again if they make anything else I fancy.
Would people recommend to put extra grease into the rubber covers or just leave them as they are?

Thanks for the kind words chaps!
Just to let you all know that the discount price of £60 can only run on until the end of this month. After that they will be back at £70 if you buy direct over our email and quote that you are from this forum. The price is going up to £80 on Ebay, in case you are keeping tabs on us!
As for lubrication they do not need anything, however, a bit of GT-85 or similar PTFE containing spray will do no harm
Also, there is a fitting guide on our website here.
Thanks all, and apologies for my lack of attendance here, I'm struggling to even find time to eat at the moment! - Mark

Till the 30th really.
However, as I have been slack and didn't mention this until just a few days away (nearly the end of the month already?!!), I'll give you all another 7 days.
So, £60 is the price up until the 7th of October.
After that they will be back to their usual £80, with you guys getting them at £70 if you quote GFYS306.
Cheers!

providing the build quality is good which going on a few reviews, it is, there definately worth their money! People always slate the design of the 306 drop links but they work fine....on a standard car. Lowered however they are under more pressure and therefore fail much earlier

Well these haven't lasted particularly well. After 6 months two of the rubber gaiters have worn so badly they may as well not be there, and one of the joints has seized due to the amount of grit its had in it.
Anyone else found the rubber covers to have disintegrated?
