Title: New drop links what a diffrence
Post by: SP_3.2 on 06 March 2011, 19:30:56
with my old ones on the way out and knowing there where 1st line which have only been on around a year..I do do high milage.
I have now changed them for a pair of Fai ones and the car seems to take the turns and roundabouts far flatter with a lot less roll. Has made a big diffrence :y :y. Very happy

Where did you get the FAI ones from Steve? The Estate needs some.

It was a local motor factors in Leicester. Took a good few calls as most just seem to stock or be able to get 1st line...which i did not want to use at any cost after the ones that i had on. Just let me know and i can pm you there infor sure they could post out as they got them for me the same day :y :y. Small place but great service :y.

They where £13 each which i was finding to be about the cost of most places around Leicester. The vx ones where about £30 a side :o :o.

That'll do me! Well it will when payday arrives  ;D, oh the fun of insuring two cars within a month of each other!

I'll drop you a PM after payday Steve  :y

Last set of droplinks I bought were genuine GM still in packaging from ebay for £25!, the ones I bought for the 3.2 a couple of years ago I ended up paying the full retail as I was in a rush and didn't want to waste my time putting firstline ones on.
