Roger,

If you would, include a set in my recent parts order.

Thanks

David,
Thanks for the business.

I'd actually guess the opposite. Sway bars link the compression of the struts together, so I'd say his swaybar was so stiff and his outside tire so compressed that it pushed the inner off the ground. Sounds like a bad thing, actually a good thing, think of it kindof like doubling your spring rate in a turn (since your car's weight is trying to compress both struts/springs).

An unswaybar'd vehicle all tires will stay in contact with the ground until they reach the end of strut/shock travel. Which means your unloaded, inner wheel (weight moves outside in a corner) will be pushing the inside up (car leans outside in turns, extremely). Stiff swaybar pushes the inside wheel up, keeping cornering flat, and, in extreme cases, causing the inner wheel to lift under extreme load. (In other words, If you get this to happen on the street, you need to calm down ).

A couple questions:
A while back I bought a set of Eibach springs while they were on special from a 928 vendorl....they're still in the box. In that thread, it was also recommended to go with Bilsteins and someone even suggested taking it a step further with these drop links. The Eibach springs are a little stiffer than stock from what I remember. Would there be a change in the installation (vs the stock 11" length) if I go with Bilsteins/Eibach setup? I'm just concerned about buying the links and not being able to "dial them in" correctly as I'm not as mechanically inclined as many of you are.

Next question is, can I install the rears only and later do the fronts without tire/suspension problems? I'm working in the rear of the car right now and expect to tackle the front in the upcoming year (steering rack/etc).

Last question...with the oversteer these springs produce (as discussed in the installation instructions), will these links cause increased tire wear? I'm guessing any increase in performance comes at a price?

Thanks,

If these springs produce more oversteer (assuming because they are stiffer), then adding rear droplinks only (WYAIT) will increase that effect. Possibly unsafe. Just consider going easy until you can get the front links installed too.

Having a staggered wheel fitment with more meat out back will help offset oversteer as well. Not sure what you are running (wheels/tires).

It's all a balancing act, and very specific to your driving style, and powertrain.

I have eibach's with koni's and the ott drop links... I'm not sure but I think that is why I can steer with the throttle...

The length would remain the same assuming you'll set the ride height the same with the Eibachs as with the stock springs. I have had a few drivers under spirited track driving have the end of the anti-roll bar hit the frame/body above the end of the bar. I don't know if the ride height had been lowered which would make this condition happen too. If you are going to be driving aggressively or have the ride height lowered, shorten the bar length to 10.5" or even 10".

Installing the rears only is fine and for a few years that is all there was since no fronts were available. Instead of causing dangerous oversteer, it will cause less than normal understeer. However, that depends on wheels, tires, tire pressure, and whether you normally exit a corner under full throttle on wet leaves.

You won't notice any difference in rear tire wear unless you change your driving style.

I wanted to add that when I upgraded to the eibach springs all around which came a year after adding the Ott drop links all around, my car would step the rear out a little to easy for my tastes. I changed the rear drop links to the other (less agressive) hole and the car is much much better now.

Hi Roger, i left you a message on your phone, i likr to have the front & rear

drop links for my 82 if you have them in stock. Ed George.

Nicholbry

Thanks Louie, Jatz928, Sterling and George for your replies. Looks like Louie's links aren't available anymore .

I've been thinking; I'll need a new steering rack, upper control arms, tie rods, and other assorted bits for my next big project. Since I'll need an alignment after doing all that I might as well save my shock/spring install till then.

Thanks guys for giving up the info.

I would have thought that with the demand (seems to be anyway) there would have been another production run by now.......just my $0.02,.....
