Default My GT3 front sway bar links are bending. Do you know of any aftermarket replacement?

The links that connect the front sway bar to the shocks are bending on my car. I have been adjusting my front sway bars for autocross and track event (softer/stiffer)

My car was lowered 10mm at the rear (to 105mm) and 7mm front (maxed out at 108mm) when it was brand new.
I don't want to buy the stock parts from Porsche because they will bend again. I was told by the dealer that there are adjustable ones in the market. They told me that by lowering my car, the links are under stress, and by going with adjustable ones, I can make them shorter to prevent them to bend.

Do you know of any stronger adjustable link available aftermarket. Something like H&R, Bilstein, etc.


Thanks..

Do you get Pano? THere was an advertisement from a company that makes adjustable links in the July edition. If you don't have it let me know and I will find a number or website for you.

The Racers Group in Sonoma, CA can probably supply you what you need as they make a set of adjustable sway bars for the GT3.

Greg:

I will take a look at Pano. Thanks a lot. I guess I'm testing new grounds with my ride height but is working great.

Why isnt it covered under warranty? THe car is advertised in Porsche's own promotional material as adjustable suspension?

BrianPA:

Is not covered under warranty because is the result of Racing and changing the car manufacturer alignment specifications.

A similar argument could have been used when my transmission broke. I got a new transmission under warranty.
