Evening,
Wonder of any one can help me I'm fitting fk coilovers tomorrow and I'm gone pretty low just wondering if I defo need the shortened droplinks or I would get away with the standard ones?
Any help would be good or pics with fk coilovers fitted with standerd droplinks and how low you are
My hanks in advance

Are they new? You should have droplinks with them as FK give you them with the coilovers (at least they did me). They didn't last 5 months though. I'm currently running 23.25" from the arch to the ground (photo below) using standard droplinks on FK streets. They constantly bang against the wishbones and the ARB isn't doing anything at all, it feels so terrible going around bends. If you're going lower than 50mm I'd highly advise you get some shortened ones (I'll link some below I'm getting which I've heard good things about).

Thanks for reply dude! Really helpful :happy2: went to venom the distributor of fk and they didn't have any in stock until September :-/ will have to run standerd drop links for now

No worries dude. I'd avoid the FK ones if possible though. The bushes split within 5 months on mine and a lot of other people had the same problem lol.
