as sum of know know ive gone through a lot of wishbones over the past year and a half after a lot of looking around for uprated ones to cope with the 60mm drop, ive found these 2 arms and i'm not sure what is best as i want it to last and b maintence free what would u buy?

zoo arm ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£370

area six arm (about ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£280)

this is mainly a ford arm but with rose joints where the rubber bushes would be but has a adjustable for camber ball joint

these both camber adjustable, the zoo ones has a rose jointed ball joint

another pic of the ball joint on the area six arm

i've hear bad things about both, Sunil's snapping Zoo ones, Heeman's self adjusting area six ones
personally i'd go for the Area six ones if there is a way of ensuring the balljoint stays in that position
