Received my powerflex solid drop links and they come with no instructions, just a sachet of what looks like grease.

There is an arrow on each link on one side. Are these arrows supposed to be on the outside or facing eachother on the inside?
Or does it matter???

I was told by scoobysport that it did not matter. If you look at them they are symetrical between the mounting points. Anyway I tried them both way round and they did not fit either way. When the car is on its wheels the link clashes with the rear lateral link locking the suspension up. Scoobysport and Powerflex have never heard of this before....must just be lucky I guess!

Speak to Len at Subaru 4 You as he sells them, and he should be able to tell you how they go, or if need be, fit them for you (obviously for a small charge ).

Yup - done em! Fitted the same way round as the nasty standard plastic one's - I think that was with the open end of the "C" shape facing forwards ....
- I did have to push up the sides of the roll bars to get them to fit, as they are about quarter of an inch shorter than standard, but I assume the extra tension takes out the slack!
