Do i need shorter/adjustable droplinks for coilovers?
« on: August 24, 2014, 08:19:31 pm »
My fk coilovers should be here next week and im just wondering if i need short droplinks or adjustable droplinks?
i dont want to get so far in fitting and then realise i need them  :scared:
i intend to go as low as i possibly can, if that makes a difference
any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated  :happy2:
cheers

I would advise slightly shorter drop links, adjustable are the best as you can adjust them so there is 0 preload on the anti roll bar, as thats the last thing you want!

My FK coilovers come with shorter drop links any way, so with a bit of luck yours should too

I wouldn't worry to much, I had some jom's on mine for about 7 months with standard drop links and never had a problem
