What's going on here??

Post by Doobs »

I just received my replacement droplinks today, originals are both bent
due to poor coilover install.

See if you can spot the difference.

Have i bought the wrong ones, or are the originals wrong?

Cheers in advance.

It looks like the new ones are right after doing a search.

Which makes me wonder what the hell are the old ones??

Haha. Just found my car's previous owner on the site. Read some of his posts.

User "funkysmurf". He got the droplinks replaced soon after purchase. The morons put the wrong
part in. Looks like he couldn't be bothered getting suspension fixed properly.
At the moment I have K-Sport coilovers and asked for 7kg/mm front and 5.5 rear. Now I have no idea if that's what I got, but I know that the car was not drivable on anything but the M7. Had to get them redone. I guess you can use that as a general guide. The K-Sport was $200 more than the Tein SS but Tein seem to have a better reputation.
Car actually has 10kg rear 11.5kg front springs. lol

No wonder they're bent. You got stretch marks under your boobs too?
