Question Is this set of Parts too good to be true value?

Title says it all :~

Front lower rear Suspension Bushes and Anti-Roll Bar Drop Links.

Value too good to be true or not? £39.90p

Good value?

I call those land fill products as that's where they will end up in approx 2 months time or less than 5,000 miles.


Search your conscience and you will find the answer

No direct experience, but had to change droplinks allegedly fitted 12mths ago. So I paid probably double the e-bay price for a pair from Mat and 2yrs on still fine.
Just to add, same thing happened with the rear bushes.

If something seems too good to be true.......No substitute really for quality.

Hi
I wouldn't purchase anything from AtoZ
If it's anything to do with the company that was based in Wakefield very arrogant and poor quality try taking something back and see what happens
But it's up to you

Steve

I bought a cheap pair of drop links to get my ZT through it's MOT 12 months ago... about 5K miles and in time for the next MOT, rubbers are completely shot! Have got a £70 adjustable set this time, as I'm fitting H&N springs... they are really well made, I am now avoiding all cheap parts having learnt the hard way....

We'll said that man
Couldn't have put it better myself.
Most stock is unbranded fake stuff from China.

And I know at least 3 members on here who sent stuff back to them and guess what..........they never received it.

They are laughing all the way to the bank !

At least everything won't be seized when you fit the next lot of replacements 😁

At that price it's junk, plain and simple. Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. There are good deals to be had, but that's not one of them!
