Suggestion

I highly recommend the rear arms, I have ohlins coilovers and to save on tire wear I splurged on the RSS arms and was able to get the alignment back into specs, they also greatly enhance the suspension feel

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 4Original post

It depends on which coilivers and how low you're going I didn't need them with h&rs and 1 1/2" drop

POST 5Original post

Anything over 2" drop will probably require them. Less than that and it should be fine.

POST 6Original post

Are they required for Bilstein PSS10s? Or refer to any height above a 2" drop and they are required?

POST 7Original post

If you're going really low , you'll want adjustable drop links

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the replies everyone.. I won't be dropping it too low - probably close to standard GT3 height. I'll be installing some JIC ZMS coilovers
