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
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

£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).

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.

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

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.
