Is Lemforder a good brand or would I be better off with OEM?

Don't want anything that will wear out quick, Car will be mainly used for track.

I don't agree. Every wishbone I have fitted by them has had to be replaced under warranty.

I prefer FAI wishbones.

Wouldn't go with o.e Citroen ones they are way overpriced.

Give Prickle on here mate I heard he has some.

In all honesty I wouldn't use anything but fAI or delphi bottom arms or drop links i have seen so many other brands fail its crazy.

Any links with prices?

I've hit like 2 ugly pot holes recently on the drivers side, been told by a few it is probs that. Lol. Going to double check all nuts are tight first before i splash out.

My droplinks are Lemforder and in good condition still. Shuddered when i paid £27 a side though. Lol...

If you want some good wishbones I have some for sale in the for sale section which will have new ball joints fitted to them.... They are OE ones with both bush sets up rated :D

I used FAI ones, no problems at all and seem like good quality. £38~ a side from carspares (west midlands only)
