I changed the droplinks on my classic for ones from...

PowerFlex

they greatly improved the way my car felt, I also had 17s on mine.
I dont think they change the way the 4 wheel alignment is done, well no one ever told me it was different when i got mine done!
Im not a technical bod so wont even attempt to explain what they do!!

droplinks are the things that connect the anti-roll to the car and will improve the handling along with thicker anti-roll bars
