Rear Anti Roll Bar Links - which ones?

[Z-4-FUN]

What’s the current wisdom of the best brand/model of Rear Anti Roll Bar Links for an E86 3.0si Coupe?

EuroCarParts seem to do a couple of cheap options, or Lemforder ones at £24 a piece.

Cheers!

Autodoc seems to have a much wider choice of options :scratchhead:

If i'm honest, these aren't massively complicated bits of kit and aren't put under the most strain - i'd be inclined to say you'd get away with the cheaper ones.....

I'm just replacing mine with a bushing kit which cost about £24 to replace with polybush in the knowledge it should never need doing again. Completely false economy as they'll outlast the car but it's the journey i'm on.....

Less that £10 each for a Z4M ones from Autodoc and they are Lemforder

Am I missing something...

What appears to be the same Lemforder part is £23.99 on ECP (with a listed RRP of £29.11), whereas on AutoDoc they are £10.48 (with a listed RRP of £13.61).

@Darkangelv2: Which polybushes did you opt for? How easy is it to push out the old bushes from the roll bar link rather than replacing the whole arms?

Found them! Cheaper than I remembered

Pretty simple to butcher the current ones out however you need and then washing up liquid the new ones in with a clamp or similar if you don’t have a press

I ordered the Lemforder ones (part no. 27123 02) from AutoDoc, £21.64 (pair) + delivery = £29.99.
