   Fitted new drop links end of last smmer,and noticed the other day the rubber boots was split again,surely that aint right is it,even though i only paid £17 the pair from ebay.Anyone else had any off ebay,and noticed the same thing.Also rang the dealers for a price,and quoted me £40 each,surely thats not right either.

   price for dealer is right. Mine were cheap and have split boots so I'm going to buy the dealer ones - seems to be a false economy to buy cheap on these parts.

   As above, I tried some cheap ones, split after a few months.
   Got some OEM ones and been fine for nearly a year.
   The bar was thicker than the cheap ones too.

   i got the more expensive ones from GSF mate. I got them through a friend who can get trade prices so i think they were about 14 each. So far so good. I was told the cheap ones do break very easily.
