Found these links on ebay. Anybody have experience with these? They look nice and company pushes their quality with all these certifications.

Well they look nice, but once on the car who would know how nice they look? I've never heard of anyone having issues with the $100 links either, but maybe someone has. That being said, I'd still consider them when I go to lower mine too especially if we get some positive reviews from users.

$99 links have been working good for 1.5 years now and nobody has ever seen them but me.

Our new Evolution lowering kits have been designed to address all the short comings of our competitors lesser quality kits and to offer greater benefits over our original kits.

We believe our new Evolution kits are the greatest engineered, easiest to install, most durable, safest, most functional kits available today and priced competitively.

The Evolution lowering kits have been designed to include the following features and benefits -

• Easy installation takes 45minutes to 1 hour
• No need to remove to adjust saving time on installation and making adjustments
• Black zinc coated bars and ball joints are up to 45x more corrosion resistant than other kits
• Additional retaining clips for greater safety.
• Can be adjusted to achieve OEM ride height.
• Specially designed billet aluminium adjusters with ‘grip-it’ knurled sections
• Stainless streel nuts and clips to increase durability and longevity.
• Stake pressed threads to securely attach static ball joints to the linkage bars

The price of the kit includes FedEx's 24hr Priority delivery service to the US, Canada and Europe and Royal Mail next day deliver to the UK.

We take pride in our kits and aim to provide you with the very best customer service both before and after the installation.

I have them. I've yet to install them but the reason I went with these over the other is due to the ability to adjust them on the fly without having to remove and re-adjust to alter height.

I like the idea of adjustable links without having to remove them. May have to put these on next winters mod list.

I'm thinking I might get em tried out - but I'm not seeing much of a difference between them and the links currently on the car. First I gotta find $200 lying about.

Save your $200 and put it towards the big turbo fund. Good luck at C&C tomorrow. Don't let fools talk you down I will bet that car will walk all over 99% of cars there.

problem.....

Now that theyre on, the quality and adjustability are nice......but can you give me a clue as to why it has raised itself up to the total maximum height? I mean rodeo high......as well as a malfunction light. 216 63, appreciate some help...thanks.

The sensor arm was in the wrong position when the new linkage was fitted.
Rectified the sensor arm position and problem resolved.
