    Best Drop Links for a C70

    Quick question

    Anyone got any suggestions for a set of drop links for my C70 that last longer than a 6 months?

    Cheers

    Either OE Volvo or meyle HD drop links are generally considered the best options. What have you tried so far?

    I haven't tried any yet, as just got the car, but I have receipts for two sets in the last 14 months that the previous owner had put on or was charged for at £75 a time.

    Like Shinsplintz said, a lot seem to use the Meyle HD. I bought mine over a year ago and still perfect. I bought them pretty cheap from:

    Think they also come with a 2 yr warranty.

    I've tried quite a few over the years with my C70 - I think Meyle are the best I have had to date.

    Bit late to the party - I went for Meyle too, but would have treated it to the Lemforders if I was feeling wealthy. Gay Gold is a T5 with a RICA 310 chip in it, the combination of which is probably not kind to drop links, but two completely clean MOTs so far so the Meyles are robust!

    I wouldn't feel guilty choosing Meyle over Lemforder. I doubt they would be any better quality. Meyle HD are pretty much the defacto recommedation from what I've heard since being a member on here. Having been through a few sets of cheap crap from ECP before the Meyle's I'll never buy cheap again (E.g. OCAP should be called Oh Crap).
