Adjustable rear drop links ..prototype Tarret
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!

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 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?

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.

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?
