Does anyone know of a good quality alternative to the Honda drop links at £162 each.
I know OEM spares are expensive for the NSX but that seems a ridiculous amount of money for a drop link.

Don't know Fr/Rr/Right/Left but depending on which corner you want, you can find them on Rockauto, amazon UK/US, etc.
I think some owners used Moog in the past???
Never installed Moog one by myself so can't comment on the quality.

Just ordered one for the front of my car, if that's what you're after. From Amayama, here

£65, plus delivery and import but I still find it's cheaper that buying from the UK.

I've got Moogs from RockAuto on the back of my car. Installed a couple of years ago. They seem to be OK.

Thanks guys for your help, I have ordered them from RockAuto.
Lets hope they don't get held up in customs.

I think the last time I've ordered from RockAuto there was an option to prepay the customs and fees so they won't rip me off a second time at the border. Of course, the prepayment was less than what I had to expect the other way.

A little but probably not comparable feedback - I have moog front drop links, purely because I cut one of my OEM ones off because I couldn't undo the nut due to rust - Not knowing at the time they cost over £200 each! I wanted to change the position of the drop link in my 1" anti roll bar (thicker than standard) and move it to a stiffer position, whilst softening the rear to reduce oversteer a little. One of mine is already failing and after a very short period of time. I'm not sure this is a fair reflection of the quality because I have 800 lbs/in front springs and the thick anti roll bar set very stiff (perhaps too stiff as on uneven ground a front wheel becomes airborne).

I'll probably buy a set of cedar ridge drop links as they would be more suitable to my suspension modifications (they're adjustable) and perhaps soften the front anti roll bar a bit.

Thanks for the feedback. They did seem pretty good and my ARB is stock, but I will keep an eye on them.
I also had to cut my old ones off, no way they were coming undone.

10 Euro per piece in nice used condition + shipping. No custom fees, cause I ship from Austria. my site on FB: https://www.facebook.com/atrnsx/

I stock more than 6500 new oem NSX parts (about 900 severals) and countless used parts from 25+ wrecked NSX

thanks

Upon closer inspection - The "good" news about my moog drop links (despite looking very rusty already) is that bolt in the lower control arm's nut had back off a bit causing it to rattle. I presume this is because the nut isn't a nyloc nut like the originals? Unless I didn't torque it correctly but I do specifically remember torquing them - Perhaps the usual torque figure doesn't apply.
