I am running Firstline ones myself.

No qualms or issues with the quality! mine have been on for about 10 months and no sign of dust boot seal failure or any other issues. ADL ones are OEM in the package, hence the high price demand

Hi all,

I've just received my First Line (Front L/R) drop links, which I purchased from Race Parts (Ebay). These drop links were advertised new, and they've got serious scratches on them (specially behind the ball joints), to the point that they look well used.

This is the first time I've ever purchased drop links, so there's a slight possibility that this is how they look new. Having said that, at the time I was buying these there were at least 3-4 sellers that had these in stock. Now all of a sudden, there are no First line front left drop links available anywhere on Ebay. Moreover, doing more research now, I've found that all these sellers are located in the same warehouse in Kent. All of these signs tell me that I've been done by a weird scam.

Can someone with more experience shed some light on this please?

Here's a picture to show you what I'm on about...


Cheers

Or you've been supplied parts that someone has returned.

You should approach local motor factors with the numbers rather than eBay.

Thanks. Don't really know of any good local shops around Coventry/West Midlands
Only the usual EuroCarParts and GSF Car parts, but they hardly ever have anything in stock for an S, let alone things recommended on the forum.
