    Suspension parts which brand is better?

    I'm buying suspension parts for the discovery & hilux and I'm confused at which brand to buy. Parts like tie rod ends leaf /springs bushes etc the prices I've got are dramatically different for example tie rod ends from Toyota are $300 each from Malz are $70; so is there any reason I shouldn't just buy the cheap ones?
    Previously I’ve bought a lot of genuine suspension parts but I haven't found them to be that good. For example this will be the third time I'm changing the discovery’s rear shocks in the past 3 years; the rubbers keep wearing out on the ones I've bought from the dealership. It hasn't done any off road work or even much towing so I don't get why they are wearing out so quick?

    Short & sweet .... Buy the cheapest ... Also try Repco / Also Veale Auto parts ... cause I recon you can get it cheeeeeeeeeper

    Also ring West Coast Suspension on leaf springs ... cause they are the distributor for King springs

    Thanks! that is good because I didn't want to pay $300 each! for toyota tie end rods. I'll get prices from those guys too.
    So are King springs better?

    .... Just giving you options Kings will do the job OK ... another trick is stop at a Trailer place // Martins in Bayswater // and ask them who to see

    Also ... Try Brit 4x4 in Carlisle ... they have been advertising coil spring & shocky packages in the Quoka ...might have leaf too
