i bought the much vaunted s bits drop links for the mk1 and the quality was absolute garbage, lasted less than a year before the rod end bearings had more slack than a hookers minge, that and the rod body was just threaded rod, they also corroded up pretty quick, these things wernt cheap, oem spec are better quality, cheaper and last a fuck ton longer!
on the other hand mcgill motorsport in falkirk have fantastic quality rod end bearings, including boots for them
