Drop links / adjustable drop links for coilovers

Recommended Posts

Ahoy

 

I have a set of tein flex A coilovers to fit to my car.

 

Need to get myself some drop links to go with them as I know for a fact I wont be getting the current ones off intact after the amount of agro they gave me last time....

So the question is:

do I just get stock replacements (if so where is the best place to source barring the dealers?)

Or

Adjustable drop links?

 

Not going mega low (maybe -20 / -30mm) so not sure if they are going to have any advantage or if fixed ones will suffice?


Anyone with previous experience let me know :D

I ran adjustable ones a few years back, on my old Xsara VTS (they were Citroen Racing C2 S1600 ones) I ran them at the stock length but you could dial in the ARB by adjusting them. I ran them as they were cheaper and easier to get (even comming from France) than stock plastic ones.

If you do want to go adjustable items I actually have a set of totally brand new ones that came with my airlift kit. I didn't use them as I also purchased a Whiteline set at the same time so i'd happily part with them for a bit of cash. Feel free to PM me if you're interested :)

I'd get adjustable ones when I put Ian's suspension on my car it loaded the ARB a bit but of course I had no problems getting my drop links off😜🙄


I thought your car looked lower. What did you fit?

 

I got mine off with copious use of a snap on impact gun last time. Don't fancy my chances for a second time though :lol:

Ah its just the new wheels that give it that illusion then. I thought it may have been a recent change.
