Upgrading your sway bar drop links

I just emailed them too, Lucky, I know it's been a while, but are you sure on the rear size?

Could you confirm that's the size you used for the rears?

BobMarley1 & wanna986,

I checked my records & I did use 205-255mm links for the rear. I guess Design911 doesn't have that length anymore. As others have said, you can go same length front & rear, so you can use the shortest ones they sell (just set them to about 190-195mm).

I went longer in the back since my car is lowered slightly and I wanted to put the sway bar level at nominal ride height.

One word of caution on the Design911 links: I did have the lock nut loosen up on the front left drop-link with a rattle developing as a result. Some blue locktight and a re-torqueing of the lock nuts and all is quiet again.

While not perfect and certainly not up to the quality level of Tarett, I am still happy with the Design911 as a very low-budget alternative.

BTW, I'm not endorsing any product and certainly YMMV. I'm simply sharing my experiences with the Design911 DesignTech drop links.

Thanks for checking, Lucky.
