Noisy AP droplinks and GT3 swaybar

I had new GT3 sways and AP droplinks from Vivid installed yesterday and when I drive slow and hit little bumps the front end sounds like a 69 Ford truck with the front end about to fall off. I went back to the shop that installed and they said everything is correct it's the ball joint rattling on the adjustable droplink. They do a lot of suspension work on Porsche's and Audi's and said all adjustable droplinks do this. They put the car up on the rack and showed me how the droplinks ball joint rotates back and forth under zero load. When I drive faster or I'm turning hard I don't hear it.

Are there any droplinks that don't do this. The front end sounds terrible. It seems to be coming more from the passenger side then drivers.

Can you recommend any droplinks that fit a GT3 swaybar for a 996 C2 that don't make the car sound like a 69 Chevy truck. Thanks.
