Default Steroid Drop Links & Stock Injector O rings

Just a quick heads up for those waiting on me.

Louis Ott has kindly agreed to let me sell his "Steroid Drop Links" and these will be available shortly - both front and rear.

The injector seal kit for the later 87 to 95 cars has increased in price to an unacceptable level.
I will now be selling the large and small injector O rings in Viton seperatly.
Small volume at the moment means the price is $1.45 each for either size.
Thats better than $11 for the kit per injector.
Still have the kits for those needing the pintel cap as well.
The O rings will be available in about 7 days.
I also sell the lower O ring for the Ford injectors for $16 the set of 8.

Well I am certainly no expert on performance enhancements and will leave that to DR, Mark & Carl.
However I have been asked for these drop links many times and the one thing I am good at is buying and selling 8>)
Attached are some pictures of the rears that arrived earlier this week.
The fronts were gone within miniutes of them arriving.
Also attached are the fitting instructions for the rears.

From what I remember these high quality drop links stiffen your existing sway bar (stock) and are adjustable for different settings.
I know DR used to sell them before he developed his own sway bar system.

They will sell for $189.95 for the fronts and the same for the rears.
Not cheap but you get what you pay for - the joints are high quality and will not wear and start making a noise.

Kick ***!!

I bought a "complete set" from someone on here a few years ago. I only received the rear (when I really wanted the front....).

It eliminates the rubber bushings (which soften the rate of the bar) and by making the lever shorter effectively makes the bar act stiffer as well. The rear in particular is much much easier to install than trying to replace the sway bar which is trapped above the transmission differential housing.

So for someone without too much suspension knowlage...:

Assuming a stock car, what effect would these have? Assuming all standard years old parts.

Noticeable?

EXTREMELY Noticable! One of the better products ever made for a 928... and the best handling upgrade you can get without installing a complete aftermarket sway bar setup.

We sold them for eons and never had a single complaint.


OK Rog, now what do I get

DR,
Another bottle of wine on the way.
I have lots left over now that I am a non drinker.
I gave up smoking years ago, gave up sex when I got married and now wine.
I only have the 928 left.
Hope Zane does not read this or else I will be in BIG trouble.
Roger
