does anyone know where i can get hold of some? i seem to remember there was a thread on it ages ago about using a whiteline kit with some spacers, but i cant find it. anyone have anymore details, or are there any other options? am in the process of fitting some cusco bars front and back, and have managed to totally round off one bolt on a rear drop link, so it going to have to be replaced, and i thought i may as well get some adjustable ones whilst i was at it!

alternatively does any one have a drivers side rear drop link?

I\'ve a couple of Drop links and I\'m right on the North Yorks/ Lancashire border. Where abouts are you?

i really need to change my location, being a sailor means i never get home- i am in portsmouth at the moment.
am currently looking of the rx7club website about fabbing up some adjustable links, it looks feasible and not too expensive- i take it you have done the same to dial out roll bar preload?

My front ARB is about as far away from standard as you are from Lancashire :)

ha ha, you have gone for tripoint haven\'t you? what have you done about the rear? i am thinking of this (clicky link) for the rear, i had a look round and can do it for around 20-30quid, and i guess can do the same for the front. what do you reckon.

oh what do you think r.e. springs now i have stiffer bars, i should get softer springs shouldn\'t i?

rear is a racing beat, for rear drop links you could look at these: Not sure they make them short enough to use on the front though:

I always run very stiff bars, with soft-ish springs and very tight re-bound damping (bump damping softer than rebound). What rate I can\'t say yet as I\'ve not run the car on track to make a choice. Will expect to go through a few sets of springs before deciding.

i am pretty sure i can build a set up cheaper than that, at the moment all i need to source is the cone washer/spacer thing, but i am wondering if i could get away with just packing it out with washers......
will let you know how i get on!
