Just bought some Meister R coilovers and have them and a refurbished crossmember to fit.
As the droplinks are a pain i will get a new set all round.
Best place to buy?
Camskill want over £60 for the four.
Anything else i should look at whilst changing this lot?
Thanks
£38 on ebay for all four - obviously not sure about quality... but then they are only droplinks...
Scott, you won't disturb the front ARB while doing the suspension so you don't NEED those; although it isn't bad practice if going to all that trouble.
A little while a go I got a full set from EURO CAR PARTS, although the rears (I think) weren't listed under drop links, something like performance upgrades (even though they are OEM replacements).

Any chance of a link please.

Fronts were where they should be it was the rear that were hard to find but as you said in the performance section.
I recently tried to buy a rear drop link from euro car parts and they sent me a front one even though ordered a rear one.
Not ideal.
I just bought a pair of rears for about £14 a side off eBay Scott. I'll ping you a link over.
A curveball alternative: Have a look at Volvo s40 1 ('95-'03) droplinks. Decent quality and sensibly priced. And none of this hexed bolt business to worry about when taking them off again.
eg Clicky (http://www.micksgarage.com/search.aspx?fffBrand=Febi%20Bilstein&fffDepartment=Anti%20Roll%20Bar%20Drop%20Links&fffMake=volvo&fffBasemodel=volvo%20s40&fffModelDescription=s40%20i%201995%20to%202003&ffftd_car=1.6&fffBHP=105)
I think Blueprint or the likes do OEM equivalents too - available from your local motor trade counter.
I did a quick search on ebay for the S40 items and it says that ford focus ones 03-09 are the same. Now I don't know whether that is absolutely true, but, at £6.60 delivered, it might be worth finding out.
I will look into it. 2 for the price of one.
For a few quid more each i would stick to the likes of Febi/Bilstein or ADL Blueprint or slightly more for Delphi......rears around £15, fronts £15-£20 each
Febi site...not sure why they list 2 fronts ?

Not the cheapest option but they are Delphi which are OE or so i have been told.
£28 delivered.
Good choice, Delphi parts are pretty good.
