   After doing the front brakes today I've noticed my Droplinks are badly worn, have looked in eBay and there are hundreds to choose from! Obviously I don't want cheap shit as you end up buying twice so which make is any good and where did you guys buy from?

   Gen Citroen ones or Lemforders. I've had the Lemforders in since last March (2013) when the car as lowered. Still in good condition, bush too. No knocks, clangs etc.
   
   Ive had cheap, they dont last even a month.

   Cheers mate just order a pair of lemforders as per your recommendation, three times the price of the eBay cheapies so I guess you get what u pay for!

   Could've got a set of rose jointed ones, they'd probably have outlasted the car.

   Received the lemforders, not too impressed... One is fine, the other is in a battered box that looks like it's been delivered and returned a few times as an area of the part has been poorly finished

   I've got ebay ones,don't remember the brand,they feel good quality,they're 2 months old went through MOT fine,let's see how much they last,even if they needs replacing in a while it won't be an hard job.

   for the time it takes to replace them i just went with cheap ones. had cheapies on the 206 for months now no issues, and the saxo had cheap shite ones on there (lowered too) for pretty much 2 years

   buy cheap ones, you're going to have to faff on every month. each to their own.

   any oem manufacture will be fine. Lemforder are usually from eurowankparts who generally return items from garages without checking the part over, so its a good chance you have a different one in the box

    Firstline are quite good, the back cap used to be metal but now most have changed to plastic probably to save cost
