Default Shorter front drop links for RS bar C4/C4S/TT

I noticed that at full droop, fully unloaded, the sway bar link and sway bar touch the lower control arm. My 993 Turbo has RS front and rear sway bars. In the rear, I have RS drop links which remedy this issue. In the front, I believe (car is new to me) the OEM drop links are installed. Anyone had success finding a shorter front drop link that fits the AWD cars? I imagine a slight smaller link would fix the problem.

I have RS sway bars and drop links in my C4S and they work perfectly. I am sure that Elephant has some alternatives. They have adjustable drop links.

I imagine you also have OE C4S drop links in front in order to get around the front axles. Or can you confirm the RS front drop links work with AWD 993s?

Nothing works on the front of 4WD apart from OE or copy of OE

Elephant Racing makes an adjustable copy. I guess I am curious if it is actually shorter than OE? Has anyone thought up a clever solution?

Yes, you are correct. I checked my parts list and found 993-343-069-00 and 993-343-070-00 which are the OEM parts for the front. Rear is RS.

Makes sense, I might be too low and that is causing the contact at full droop. But I am guessing I am at RS height-ish. Or, most people running at this height are not concerned or unaware that contact is made at full droop. Since full droop is nearly a foot higher, I doubt its encountered in normal driving conditions.
