I've got their drop links all the way around too. Ever since Derb told me about his problem, I've been too pissed off to pull a wheel and have a look.
I bet mine are cracked too.

Whew! This is timely as I'm about to order some drop links. Where should I get replacements from? Sunset, Suncoast, etc?

As a superior alternative to these or the OEM Porsche drop links Tarret makes a great set of adjustable end links - very durable but pretty expensive. Suncoast carries them.

I stuck this thread to help others avoid this seller. IMO, Ebay does a poor job of this on their own.
Caveat Emptor.

Well, I got a surprise yesterday. I walked into my garage a UPS had left a package. Hmmm, I'm not expecting anything.
Lo and behold.... 2 new drop links.
Must have been the "You guys suck" start to my last email to them that turned them around.
Still, buyer beware.

I forgot to post that when I opened the plastic bag that one of the drop links was is the boot was already torn. I couldn't believe it.
Seller said they are contacting their supplier as to why the boots are failing. Also said not to send it back and implied I'll get another one once they hear from the supplier.
We'll see...

Mike, do you think I should go ahead and buy Porsche drop links when I find the cash and just swap mine out with factory ones?
I have no desire to mess with DP through eBay for replacements when the new ones will probably crack as well.

I bougt Hamburg technik tie rods from them, opened the pack and the grease was pouring out the side of the boot... Also when I put the inner/outter tie rods on the car they wouldnt tighten enough for tracking so had to take them off!!
Had to replace everything, got half the money back as they where going to send a replacement but who wants a replacement?
I contacted Hamburg Technic which was supposed to be a German company and they replied to me in broken Chinese/English
I also contacted ebay to say these suppliers are gangsters but they said they have such a positive feedback!!
Avoid this EBAY Supplier

I've talked to a lot of people who got screwed by DP..I bought some balls joints from them a long time ago and those things went out after 6 months and of course they wouldn't return my emails etc, absolute nightmare. I have a small shop here in California selling only OEM parts for Porsche or quality (European made only) aftermarket parts and we can beat most prices (not always but 8 out of 10 times). If you're ever looking for great quality parts at a low price give me a shout, I'll try to hook you guys up. And I would really stay away from DP USA.

Well I ordered from them an ignition switch about 2 months ago, it arrived perfectly and I already installed it without any problems, it is still working fine, so maybe it is a matter of luck!!

MIMA, their condition upon arrival is not in question. My parts arrived quickly and looked great. By asking sweetly, I was given replacements, but most of us are finding the bushings in their drop links begin to crack in less than a year of normal driving. Keep a close eye on your parts and report back as to how they hold up.
