drop links
Hi anyone have any views on these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-BMW-Z3-Con ... 43ba6095a1, I've been rolling around under the M today and the drop links are well used and the fuel tank straps are really horrible,dealer for tank straps? Also is it worth powerflexing the arb http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-BMW-3-Ser ... 3cc7902442 and are these the ones i need .Thanks guys
Re: drop links
BMW price for the droplink is £19.44 and the rubber bush is £6.25 each side.
Both mounts for the rear droplink are known to be weak, I feel that adding Powerflex or similar harder bushes will hasten failure of the mount.

Re: drop links
Thanks Gazza .drop links £10 eurocarparts quality?whats the life of a drop link I don't mind replacing them if there's a handling gain ,but I'm very conscious of compromising ride quality
Re: drop links
I've had a set replaced so that's two sets in 12 years.
The mounts on the floor and trailing arm failed on mine due to uprated ARB's.
