Would anyone have approximate measurements for rear drop links? Either stock or aftermarket adjustable. I'm trying to order a set of Powergrid links but they'd like to confirm the length, and I won't be able to check my own car for a couple days...

Just updating thread - once I got them off the car, I measured OEM links at 85m center to center.
Oddly, aftermarket links seem to be meaningfully longer - e.g. Tarett's are 99mm-119mm. No one's been able to tell me why that's the case (Elephant Racing was especially useless, but I digress).
While longer links will fit, they would necessarily rotate the swaybar up and back - effectively changing the stiffness. PowerGrid originally sent me longer ones, but then custom made me in the shortest length they could (minimum of 91mm).

If it's any consolation, when I took my car to get suspension dialed in I gave them a set of Tarrett end links and when I went to pick up the car, they handed them back to me and said don't install them. The OEM ones work and last longer. They told me to sell them and run the stock end links. Granted it's not a track car but I was told that they wear out too quickly or something to that nature.
