need some advice lads. my mate fitted a set of drop links to my bugeye sti ( standard ones from icp) seemed ok for a few weeks but now i seem to crash over every bump and the strut feels like it will come through the wing. had the car up on the ramps and the drivers side link is at a very weird angle compared to the passenger side? did a bit of searching and found there is different ones to fit alloy arms as fitted to sti,s ? seen these ones on icp website : http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/part...nk&searchPart=
it says they are 60mm ? so im guessing ive fitted the wrong ones? seen these as well look similar to the ones above as well : http://www.sprintingharejdm.co.uk/Ge...000-20470SA001
any info would be good as id like to replace them asap. cheers.

just to say also we jacked the car up and used another jack to bring up the alloy arm. ive since read posts saying to fit them with the car on the ground but its difficult to get access. maybe thats where we went wrong?

You need to fit them on floor ramps tbh mate. if there is an angle you have probably moved the arb. You can loosen the arb mounts and realign the bar so it's central and see if the angle is as it should be. The links look fine to me tbh, I would have gone genuine but as long as everything is central and tight I don't see why these would be an issue.

thanks m8. that was also on my list of possibilities that the bar had moved. any tricks for making sure its centralised properly?

Eyecrometer lol Match the angle of the links and you wont be far off. The only time my links banged was when the nut came loose
