drop links off ebay?

Unread post by deian »

Hi all,

Just wondering if it's any good buying drop links off ebay, some are around a tenner each, there is no brand specified, so i'm wary.

What I really want to know is, is t worth buing them off ebay or is it better to fork out that little bit more for a part from gsf or somewhere?

Thanks

Deffo worth paying for good ones, the cheap one last about 10k if you're lucky.
It infuriates me to be wrong when I know I'm right

Ditto!

Im fed up with cheap ones! Hardly last at all, I get them from our local Indy, about 12 quid each rather then a pair, and are FAI, which I beleve are quite good..

Dei, GD Components Im on about.

ok thanks for the heads up paul, hope u had a good xmas,

i got front pads for £21 from there, with the wear sensors!

£12 each is a nice price for d/links

how much should i pay for a pair of discs, i got the pads, but pointless putting them as the disks have chamfered in a corner on the inside

I second that, cheap ones last no time at all, get citroen ones, they are only a few pounds more but last a lot longer.
