Coupe Droplinks

[newsh]

Need new droplinks for the coupe. Mine have balljoints both ends, a spare leg I have (which I think is from an avant) has a balljoint at the bottom and a bolt through the top at the leg.

I've found these on ebay Linky and there are 2 types, 90-92 and 92-96. My car is a 92, how do I tell which ones?

FWIW I will be fitting KWs in a few weeks and running a little lower than stock.

That link didn't do anything for me. Are you talking this 89550538 rear drop link? My info for it has it in a ACOQ from 1989 to 1996 no break in 1992. Or the ones on the right? Very likely doesn't matter which.

If i could interject, I have always wondered what's the best out of those 2 drop links?

I think the other leg you have is a rear as stated.

And so the great plastic vs metal drop link debate begins again. Define better....?

Mmm, other one might be a rear, the link is like the single one with bolt that dave posted, the lack of a steering arm would be a givaway.. I will look...

This is the link. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-Coupe...wAAOSwUdlWdzL6

Actually based on my C4 experience, I didn't realize that the Coupe front anti-sway bars had a drop link. I thought it was just the rear bar.

The front drop link 8A0407465 seems to look like this:

Ball joint bottom with bush at the top is the rear drop link.
Front are as per the pic with the TRW plastic one. Plastic is lighter, Porsche chose a thicker steel item for the RS2 presumably for a reason. I have TRW plastic ones with my RS2 front arb with no issues - go figure.
I used to be a die hard steel drop link proponent but I have been converted. The plastic ones are lighter and don't rust.

Don't know the reason why to go metal from plastic..

I got told to use metal rs2 drop links on front and back if using coilovers but this is on a s2 coupe

The RS2 front drop link is PN 8A0407465C which seems to be metal

No opinions on these then?

Is there any need for them to be adjustable on an S2 coupe?
