E92 Coupe Shortened Droplinks

Todd_77 · 06-01-2015, 05:46 PM

I just fitted some coilovers to my e92 335d this evening.

The OEM droplinks are too long.

I need a shortened replacement. Does anyone know of any from another car I could purchase that would fit?

Thanks,
Todd.

You need longer for the front and shorter for the rear. Go with adjustable units.

Definitely need shorter for the front.

OEM are too long. By a few inches!

please explain us why is that?

The only way they would be too long is if you RAISED the car with the coilovers rather than lower it.

exactly! I guess he is trying to complete the install with the suspension being unloaded hence the confusion that the links are to long.

Oh good point! Todd_77, make sure that you've got the suspension loaded before you start torquing things down!
