Title: Drop link supplier
Post by: Jimbob on 17 March 2009, 09:16:30

Need a pair of droplinks - £23.16 each + off the dealer.

Always used to be FAI to go for....
But I can't find any, anyone ordered any lately?  From whom?

how urgent do you need them :question

neighbour works for car factors and recently (well within the last 6 months) got FAI.  I can investigate further if need be - just let me know.

I have been known to use Mr Greedy's cast-off droplinks in the past ::)

I'm looking for the same and have ignored the cheapies on eBay, FAI ones seem to be quite rare to get a hold of at the moment but I have emailed FAI direct to see if they can point me in the right direction of a dealer.
