What was tb’s problem?
The quality is shiter than shite.  Think of the nastiest set of Omega wishbones you've come across, then sink a bit lower.  The TREs (if you buy the kit) are equally awful.  I certainly wouldn't allow them on my car. I'd rather have some non descript Chinese monkey metal.

That's, of course, if they ever turn up.  And they are impossible to deal with when the shite doesn't turn up.

but if you buy through Ebay, they seem to be a bit more reliable wrt delivery times :y
Nope, they are every bit as crap when buying through egay.  And they wait the maximum amount of time on egay's resolution system before replying, with a stall reply, so you have to keep going round in circles, waiting 8 days each time.


Last time I went through this particular nightmare, they couldn't give me a tracking number, yet on the last day before you can get egay in intervene claimed DHL had lost it.  Strangely, having got one of my DHL contacts to check it, DHL never picked anything up from ATP (or anywhere else that couldn't be accounted for) destined for me.

So, I know that they are liars that sell substandard junk.

At the time ECP was supplying Lemforder parts, which were miles better in build quality.  :y
So I bought all I needed from them in the end.
Although I don`t think TB is a lemforder fanboy & might dispute the above statement
Lemforder, whilst not the same quality on these items as they once were, are a good enough replacement.  I have seen ECP try to shift cheap wishbones as Lemforder in the past, but that seems to have improved a bit since they were taken over a few years back.

Have they significantly gone down in standard then?

Last time WBs lasted 5 years. TREs lasted 6 years and drop links still on from years ago!!!

Conflicting views, Webby! As I said earlier, I am happy with my ATP wishbone kit, which Serek fitted for me a year ago and still fine. Perhaps you could ask Serek what he thought of the quality of the kit?

Do they fit? Check.
Do they work? Check.
Are they cheap? Check.

For less than £100 for wishbones/droplinks/track rods, what more do you want/need ::)

Yes, the baseball CAP protects my head from getting cold and keeps the sun out my eyes  :y
the baseball bat protects my car from thieving scum bags  ;)
anti theft device clicky
obviously, when i have more money, i will buy a ball too  ;D
if you have a wooden baseball bat, make sure you have a baseball too, or it could be considered an offensive weapon apparently  :P

The single most expensive part is the geometry adjustments after.  So if they only last the warranty period (if you're lucky), it still makes it the expensive option.

As with many things, the cheapest often works out far from the cheapest.
