Will it cause any damage fitting the longer ones, even if only for a couple of weeks?

I don't think you would get them to fit tidy mate Even if you did, the angle of loading may destroy them pretty quickly. Can't you put the old ones back on ?

I've fitted them, lowered the car slowly and watched them and seemed ok and took it for a drive and drives nice too. It's just I need to get it in for mot asap and the old ones were shot so was just wondering if it would be ok (not cause any damage) to leave them on for a week or two, until i can get the right ones.

Interesting.. guys i've just received some super pro drop links for my classic which were specifically sold as to fit 1992-2000 cars with alloy lower arms, but they are definitely short, I'm thinking they may be wrong but then it would seem all the billet drop links are a fair bit shorter than the stock ones, eg. i've never seen a billet droplink the length of the stock ones on 53's classic, so are shorter drop links a problem? I need to make sure I get it right as my cars in the garage next weekend to have the steel arms replaced with the alloy ones and ALK, but if i don't have the right drop links it might stop the whole job.
