Prosport Shortened Drop Links for MINI
Key Features:
All steel construction
Reduces strain on OEM – specification components after lowering
Why are they needed?
When lowering a car the position of the anti-roll bar in relation to other suspension components can change, so it increases the chance of components hitting each other.
Additionally, on Coilover Units, the brackets to attach the drop links are often mounted at a lower point on the unit than the OEM position, so on a Coilover unit, this effectively shortens the gap between the bracket and the roll bar itself. In this case, a standard length drop link will try to force the roll bar into a different position.
So, fitting a set of Prosport Shortened Drop Links will help to overcome the following issues:
– Increased strain on the drop link ball joints and mounting bracket
– Accelerated wear on the ball joints
– Contact with drive shafts or other components, causing noise
