because the drivers's side driveshaft is thicker. I'm lowered 55mm and overcame this problem by fitting an R32 anti roll bar.

drop links really dont do alot to be honest, take arb out or upgrade to one that goes underneath, r32, slcr, audi tt etc

Hi if you cut the adjustable link arms down a bit  to make them shorter then they will not rub any more! hope this helps  :smiley:

You want the drop links to be shorter, otherwise a R32 ARB would solve the problem as well. Get both links off and cut them down so you have just over an inch of thread and the same for the tapped end, this way it will be still strong and short enough to allow the ARB not to rub.
