Wishbones, OEM or Lemforder?
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.

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...
