New OEM drop links

[SteveSAS]

Hi guys, I have my ST suspension ready to go on car. I also have bought new bushes, bolts etc from TPS as well as an R32 rear ARB. I also bought new rear drop links for the rear but realised I didn't purchase new ones for front, should I get these as well? Also is it correct me buying OEM drop links for my new suspension (only lowers by 20mm) or should I have different size drop links?

Thanks

Might as well get new ones for the front, they certainly don't cost much and at least you know it's all done at once then. I just used standard OEM links when I fitted my ST suspension, no issues at all.

Did you renew track rod ends as well Craig?

we used OEM style Meyle (German) which can be bought cheaply off e bay when we uprated my boys S3 to R32 ARB - fitted no problem

Yeah, I ended up fitting new bushings and bearings all around, did LCR brake and front wishbone swap. So refreshed everything in one go, just meant I new it was all solid and should be trouble free for a while.

Meyle HD Drop Links get my vote. Alot better than OEM ones. Last longer too...
