I've heard they are silly money from Toyota, £50 a side or something.

Dave @ TM Developments sells the pair for £54, happy days. :)

Droplinks Info

The Low Down

There are two versions of droplink setup on the turbo models.

Between Dec 1989 and Dec 1991 (Phase 1 EP82) the turbos shared the same setup as the non turbo models. It consisted of a straight bar with four rubber bushes on each side held in place by two washers on each side.

In 1992 the turbo model got it's own L-shaped antiroll bar links (and it's own antiroll bar to suit). The design eliminated two of the rubber bushes on each side replacing them instead with a newly added joint on the drop link.

This offered improved handling and the setup remained right up until the EP's demise in 1999.

Prices based on 2005 retail figures. They may have decreased/increased since then but any Toyota dealer can quote you on those part numbers.

Cheers,

Sounds about right Jay, I replaced both of mine last year as I bent one on a kerb or something, I also upgraded the link bushes with TRD ones.

I thought the prices were not too bad. I can always just about guess how much parts are going to be from Toyota. Try buying parts for a land rover, they are crazy.

Aftermarket ARBs do not come with the drop links, they are seperate.

Just for reference.

Also Jay that's an awesome info as usual, Johnny I think the NA ones are like the Early GT's. Whiteline drop link kit is only £35 from Dave, I might get some.
