Has anyone come across a supplier that does rosejointed droplinks specifically for the e30? I've got eibach roll bars and want some decent droplinks.

If no one does them then maybe i will start making some up...

anyway if anyone knows, let me know

cheers

IIRC, there's a link from a 5(?) series that is the same length as the E30 front ARB link, but has the same joint as the E30 top joint on both ends. Needs a bracket made up for the bottom end to the control arm.
Not a rose joint, but eliminates the rubber.

i have been thinking about fitting mondeo estate 2000 on rear roll bar links .not rosejointed but with a ball joint on each end with the right size thread . they are cheap and easy to get hold of . have a look here ebay 180156531070 . like i say i havent done this yet but they look and measure up like they will do the job .

would the racing dynamics ones fit a standard sport anti-roll bar?.
I ask becouse the car is lowered and there is pre-loading on the anti-roll bar.
Sorry to hijack your post :)

I may be wrong here but, will it make any difference if the car is lowered?. I thought the ARB acted like a big torsion spring so is only under load when there is a difference in height between the two wheels?

you can buy rose joints etc from most good rally supply places PPC mag have plenty of places, it's just a case of make your own.. otherwise you can get them from whiteline @ Demon Tweeks dear but widely avaliable
