Droplinks?

Looking for options that can be used for stock ride height and dropped at a later date. I am currently stock on the suspension except for gt3 rear sway. I would like to get a front sway bar in the next couple weeks, and also put on adjustable/droplinks, but I plan on so either PSS10's or KW v3's early next year.

I am thinking getting H&R front sway and maybe tarett front and rear droplinks.

Can someone add other options here?

Thanks,

Tarett or TRG links are adjustable and work with both stock and lowered height. But you wont need them until you lower the car at which time the stock links geometry won't work (and they break alot). I'd wait until you do the coil overs so that the entire suspension can be properly set up. (Tarett makes different links for specific coil overs.) Be aware the adjustable drop link heim joints do make some noise as the links rotate in the bearing slightly during suspension movement. You'll also need adjustable rear control arms (dog bones) and adjustable toe links to get proper rear alignment at a lowered height. These also help keep your camber and toe consistent under higher cornering loads. Get it all done at once so you don't end up paying for things (like tires and alignment twice). Also have the work done by a competent shop (like some of our board sponsors) who set these suspensions up all the time.
