Hans,

Thanks for the update and great news the rears are ready to ship. Can't wait

I'll be in for a set of fronts.

Received Mine In Good Order......(pun intended).
Thanks Hans!!
Now, how many orders do you need for a run of the fronts??

I had to buy 25 sets to get the rears made, probably about the same for Fronts. May be able to get it down to 20 since I already paid for tooling/testing of the bushings.

As of now, I have 11 sets of rears left.... so it will probably be a while before we get enough lined up.

Received mine yesterday, very nice workmanship indeed! Thanks for your work & efforts Hans, much appreciated!

Got mine yesterday too. Thanks for the great work! Hope to install this weekend.

I find that really interesting....after all the posts and discussions over time about the steroid links I would have anticipated much higher demand.

Maybe just have to do some additional promotion around here...!!!

Received mine Friday and they're already on the '89.

Thanks Hans.

Since I just learned that my car has zero rear drop-links at the moment...PM incoming...

LostInSpace

Received mine too, can't wait to get them fitted.

Do these fit a 84?

hans14914

They will fit anything 1980 or newer. This can be confirmed by measuring the diameter of the rear swaybar. Early bars were 21mm and later bars 22mm. This was designed for the 22mm bars.

Thanks
Hans

Are these more for autocross and DE work? What would the advantage be for a daily driver. When I auto crossed my 84 it pushed in the corners. I would expect this would help that.

They are beneficial for anyone who would prefer less understeer. They will help roll, but the main advantage of rear links is reduced understeer.

Perhaps I'm the only one who doesn't know, but given that A) I bent the crap out of the set I had on the GTS by installing them before dropping the rear end on the ground, and B) I don't ever recall a discussion of how to avoid that, how does one actually install these? And then, what is the net effect of lengthening them or shortening them, and if the rods are 1.5mm thread pitch, across what range do people tend to adjust them?

A quick look at Carl's product install pages suggests installing one side with the car in the air, installing the top of the other side, putting the car on the ground, and adjusting the second one's length so it installs without forcing it. But then the car's going to settle some more, and I somehow doubt the lengths are the same that way (maybe that doesn't matter, or maybe it does turning left vs. right...(?)). But ok, once installed, IIUC, shortening the the droplinks on the swaybar increases the effective bar stiffness. Correct?

Would be interested in a best-practices discussion RE: actually adjusting droplinks so they're doing what they're supposed to be doing..
