Suspension: - DropLinks - HELP!

BarnsleyT4 · Jun 26th, 2017, 21:01

Hi everyone, I am new here, but I need some information ASAP as i am booked on a charity track day on Friday and I am trying to fit a new set of BC Racing Coil-overs to my 2001 S40 T4, the problem i have is that I need shorter drop links.

Has anyone fitted BC Coil-overs to their V40/S40 and do you know what drop links I need.. I have heard that they come from a Citroen, but Im not sure which model or even if that is correct

or even fitted aftermarket suspension, what did you use

PLEASE GUYS!!! HELP
Thanks

I used mk8 Honda civic ones on my p1 which are 227mm, yours will be a p2 so will have 267mm long ones, standard p1 ones are 200mm, the standard 200mm ones are OK but I had a clean mark where the arb must have touched the chassis at some stage, that extra inch gives decent clearance without the arb hanging too close to the road, I never tried 267mm ones for a p2 but I suspect that's what would happen.

These were the ones I bought

ohh I see what you mean there, my ta technix ones have the drop link tab in roughly the same place as a standard leg does.

Worst case scenario is you don't fit them and don't have a front ARB. Pikey I know bu tit wont stop you doing your rally.
