Hey everyone,
Well I'm going back to the dealer on Thursday to get the front check out. I'm sure it's the front end links, again. This will be the fourth time to be changed. Now as I will be out of my 36/60 come the end of August what is everyone else doing with their front end links. This is on a 2007 ZX5.

^^^ What he said. They last at least twice as long as the stockers, if you keep them lubed up (they have grease fittings).

OK i've talked to one of my local performance shops i deal with and he said he could do a group buy on these......
if we can get 10 pair (20 as they're NOT sold in pairs) @ $30 each + tax (each side, so $60 a pair +tax)
and he could have them next day, so we could maybe set up a mini FC meet out here in Durham?

Advance Autoparts (in the US) where I get them sells them for $27 US each. Rock Auto has them for $20.79 a piece, plus shipping.
I've always sourced them from the US, since they are terribly over priced locally.

partsource quoted me $32.xx a pop for moog and 23.xx for TRW. i got them to show me the TRW and they look just as beefy as the moog ones, grease fittings and lifetime warranty aswell.

I was looking around the Moog End Links the other day, a local shop in Ottawa can get them for $29 + tax. Might able to work out a better price if more sets were involved.
