I have a set of B12's on order which I'm told will be delivered near the end of August... I should have gone with FCP but I didn't and its been over 2 months since I ordered them but hey ho.

I'm just wondering whether the standard swaybar drop links are suitable once the car's been lowered?

I'm assuming the bar will be just be angled up a bit more but would there be clearance issues? Or should I look for shorter droplinks?

Would you mind sharing where you got the parts with such a lengthy delay?
I've had plenty of poor experiences with Sparesbox, and I've been searching for a local alternative- I know FCP is probably the best out there, but shipping costs hurt

The stock links should work.

Ideally you will want longer front links and shorter rears to remove added tension that would get put on the sway bars afaik.

Here you go....

I ordered mine on the 23rd May. There seems to be a supply problem then they had 3 weeks off for their summer holidays where the shop was closed. I still haven't received anything to advise me they've been shipped.

Not thrilled, but the price is good, so was the shipping.

Update: Just called Schmiedmann and Bilstein have advised them that the B12's wont be available until the 9th September. Manufacturing issues. All fun and games it seems.

Thanks Andy. In that case I'll look around for some M3 links as I guess the ride height will be close to that.
