Default Aluminati

Hi
Just browsing through the bay and was wondering if anybody has fitted the adjustable droplinks from aluminati.
Going by the recent posts on poor quality parts was wondering if its worth moving away from the original set up completely.
£70 is not expensive compared to some prices for 15 year old parts
Any thoughts welcome
Stan

Ebay link
2nd link
or even racing links
3rd link



I have also wondered if rear arms could be made up by this kind of manufacturer.They are basically just links and a spring cup, set to specific angles.

I had suggested these for someone on Facebook, who was looking for alternative droplinks. Someone on there had said they tried them and they lasted 4 months (again apparently constructed with cheap components). A thought has popped into my mind just now that I wonder if they were set too firm for the rest of the suspension geometry and geography.

I would bet though with decent joints and set up correctly they would be fine, however they would likely add noise and vibration.

I cannot imagine how the upper mount would work without being the same as a standard link.

EDIT. I have just seen the weblink from post 2, and if they used similar design for our cars, it would just be too similar with problems as the ones we already have (there currently are no pictures displaying on the ZT LINK for me). The pictures I have seen previously seemed to have different joints, more like the REARS . They are different now.
