To be honest. I paid £5 each for my droplinks. Cheap as chips ones. Been on the car for about 2months and still okay, if they break there only cheap to replace

Plastic ones on my car last longer than metal ones. Metal ones can't handle my lows and bend lol

Ideally you want rose jointed ones for lowered cars so you can adjust them! Only 60 quid off ebay.

I'm swaying towards the idea of going rose jointed, from either cwspellowe or Ripp, as it's not cheap, but then it's done forever!

FTW

Better spec than the eBay ones tbh but you get what you pay for. Ripp's are even better spec than mine.
