I have a set of pss9's i'm about to install on my 01 996 turbo.

The issue i'm having is while looking at the stock setup with the wheel off, there is a lower swaybar link that goes from the sway bar all the way up and attaches to the bottom of the factory spring holder.

It's a pretty long link and that attachment point is not located on the pss9's.

Is there supposed to be a aftermarket link that's suposed to attach to the pss9's for the swaybar? I did get rear links, but not front ones

 

The Bilstein links are definately a different length. Dan at Vivid should be able to set you up.

 

The fronts are different too?

 

I got different sway bar links for the rears but not for the fronts

 

The oem front links should work. I had them on my car when I bought it, and it was setup with my PSS9s, which are valved differently, but still the same body. I'm not at home with my car right now, so I can't tell you how they were setup originally, but you want to change them anyway... Also note, a lot of guys who are driving their cars on the street only remove their front sway bar, and some track ratts even do it... Helps with the understeer that these cars tend to have, due to the weight on the front end from the front drive "stuff".

Switch to the ones that use the wheel carrier pinch bolt. Less likely to break. I am sure the stock sway bar links are to long for the PSS10/9???? The Bilstein coilovers supply new front links. Here are the ones I recommend.

so I installed the Pss9s today---sure enough, the front sway bar links dont fit. They are just too long, or i'm doing something wrong.

Does anyone have a pic of stock swaybar links attached to the bilsteins? I'm getting mixed answers.

Also thanks vivid for the offer, but i'm gonna see if I can find a cheaper alternative for now.

 

The PSS9/10 come with new front sway bar links. What sway bar are you running?

 

I'm running the stock swaybar

BTW- the car looks sooo much better lowered. The 4X4 look is just completely gone!

 

The stock sway bar kinda curves down where the aftermarket GT3 or H&R go straight across I believe. Please post a picture here of the links you received.

 

heres the pictures of the swaybar and pss9s

is this the stock 996 turbo swaybar? no matter how i do it, i cant seem to get em on

 

That is the stock sway bar. Where is your sway bar link?

 

You need to attach the sway bar LINK. Post a pic of the links you got.

 

I will when I get back to Edmonton on Thursday

Anyone got any pics of the stock swaybar links attached to the PSS9s?

 

My stock links were about 11.5"
My Bilstein links are about 8.5" eye to eye.

I like Dan's Pinch Bolt Mounts. Pretty cool.
