I just got a prototype set of Tarret Engineering's rear adjustable drop links. They look extremely well made .. and look similar to the factory 964 cup version that is no longer available. Alot of people have been waiting for someone to make them. I cant wait to get them on the car. Great job Ira!!!

Eye candy!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Damn, just when I thought I was getting the first set! At least I have the advantage of Tarett personally inspecting the installation on my car early next week.

Edit: now that I look at your pictures, I think mine will be slightly different: the middle tube is supposed to now be a hex shape so you can put a wrench on it.

 

Kris,

I probably won't be able to get mine on for a few weeks to test. I dont want to change the car right before the club race . So let me know how they fit if you get to them first. Thanks!

 

I have Tarret's on my 996TT - really solid pieces.

 

Monday, Ira from Tarett brought a set like pictured in the first post above. However, they were a little too long for the low ride height on my car. So he went back to his shop and put together these beauties which Mirage installed this morning.

 

Hey Kris, Interesting. I think mine will be too long as well, my car is extremely low. I will give Ira a call today. They look great! NIce work Ira.

 

What are you guys doing about the swaybar mounting bushings? Mine are still rubber and if I go with those links it makes sense to get some sort of stiffer or urethane/nylon bushings.

 

I am probably going to keep the stock ones in for a while. If you come accross something interesting Larry ... let me know.

 

I am no suspension expert, but are those bushings even bearing much load? I thought that the primary force along that part of the sway bar was rotational?

 

They will get the full load that the suspension puts on the end of the swaybar. Remember that the mount is what the arm torques against, and it has to bear that load.

If I am going to take all of the play out of the drop link, I'd like to get it out of the mount as well.

 

I see what you mean now: the bushing converts the vertical load into a rotation. What did the factory race cars use?

The other reason to use these drop links is the length adjustment for lowered cars. Plus they look fabulous.

 

Ira did a great job with the links. I ended up getting the shorter version as my car is extremely low as well. They look fantastic! They look nicer than the factory cup originals.

 

They are now available on the web site.

Powerflex appears to have polyurethane bushings that will fit our sway bars:

Searches turned up lots of folks using the front A-arm bushings, but I couldn't find any opinions on the sway bar bushings. Anyone using them?

 

sorry Marc- which website?
