Does anyone know who they are made by and how much?

U see i bought some GSF ones for my 325i auto for the MOT in under 6 months they are fucked, rubber boot split both sides and the ruber delaminated on both aswell. Hammered they were in a car which is a rolling sofa A to B car

So don't buy italian OMG front ARB drop links from GSF!

Yep, it's worth paying a couple of quid more for genuine ones, this has just reminded me i've had some front ARB bushs for about six months that i've not fitted yet :roll:

tbh ive got ECP ones on mine, not had a problem, and iirc the difference in price was a bit more then a couple of quid? think i got both sides fo 9ish?? wheres from bmw was 20ish??

tbh i supose i dont drive my car as hard as you, anyway, i think its to do with luck of the draw and no consistency with ECP parts tbh.

bmw ones are Ԛ£29 per side
GSF are about Ԛ£12 and utter crap. I had the same problem with my sport, they were again totally f**ked after 1500 miles including a ring trip! So i went main dealer.

But for my auto turd i thought i could go without bmw stuff for everything!

So who are the ECP ones made by don't say OMG!
