Droplink measurement

[Bennoz]

Gents,

Would one of you be so kind as to be able to measure a GPX rear droplink for me? And by measure, I'm after the distance between the centres of the 2 ball joints.

So'k, I found what I'm after.

Whiteline adjustable one, can do both standard & lowered height. Part number KLC139

Now, just to find them for a decent price. $179 bucks a pair is a bit steep...

You shouldnt ever cut to fit something like this unless your a professional.

But tons of suspension shops use these if they don't have the droplink size your vehicle specifically needs. There is nothing wrong in cutting that to size and fitting it. Only thing I need to find out is if it can be cut to the length we need for the FTO.

From the Whiteline's page, we need something between 65-70mm in length. The universal one I listed, minimum is 80mm. So am guessing a no go.

This is for our rear:

Need to find a cheaper front.

$85 for those Nolathane rears.

[shadowarrior]

Just got off the phone with Nolathane, they can confirm that if we have a ball ball joint with a 10mm bolt, the 42790 will fit for front when measured and cut.

Both the rear and this universal one is sold as a pair.

[vanadinite]

So is the rear a direct fit sidds/ no cutting

[shadowarrior]

Yep rear is direct fit. Front is cut to fit..and am going to try it on the FTO. I have done it on a club member's IO. Just got the old drop links out of his car, took it to the mechanic with the new universal one, he cut it to same size with a grinder or something..came back and put that on and done
