I'll be switching out suspension soon to include m030 sway bars. Do i need new front drop links and if so what is recommended. For the rear, understand i can use what comes with the shocks? I'll be ordering Bilstein B8's along with m030 ROW springs. Car will be set to ROW height. Thanks

I went with PSS10's and M030 ARBs and I did need front drop links. As I recall, I was able to use the rear drop links that came with the PSS10's. But if you need the rears, the PN is 99333307303, $169.40 ea at ECS Tuning.

The fronts are:

Left - 99334306900
Right - 99334307000

I purchased them from ECS Tuning 8/14. The Left was $146.49 and the Right was $138.71. I have no idea why they were priced differently!

Thanks VA993. While replacing the suspension, any reason to replace the front tie rods? Believe they are the original and car has 40K+ miles. Front contorl arm front/rear bushings will be replaced with ER bushings.

Get the RSR tie rods from tarret. I would replace your current ones. The ball joint on inner tie rods has plastic inside, which wears out and causes play.

I replaced the tie rods and ball joints with OEM when I did the suspension. It just makes sense to do while you're in there, forget mileage,they're close to 20 years old by this point. I did Walrod bushings. You're approaching your suspension upgrade very similar to how I did-I know you'll be as pleased as I was with the result. Just be sure to get a proper alignment done by a shop that knows 993s and how to do it right. That is really the icing on the cake for this project.

Bilstein shocks arrived from Carrenewal. Talk about fast service. These guys rock.
