Going Low. Need Different Front End-Links??

Hi,

I had my R53 super low a few years ago. Since then I have been running stock suspension again. Now however, I have a set of KW V2s coming again and I can't remember if I need shorter front end-links. I plan on droping the car 2" front and rear.

Here is what my looked like before i raised it back up. https://www.flickr.com/photos/dynami...7622914979874/

Thanks for the help!

IIRC, you actually need longer endlinks the longer you go. So get adjustables and lengthen them accordingly.

Alta makes a kit for either front or back. So most major vendors selling Alta should have them. That's the only one I can name right away, there's probably some others.
