Hi Folks,

I would appreciate some help I am having with a set of JIC coilovers I have sold recently.

I'm in the dark a little as I never physically fitted them to the car but I now own said car but now on Motons.

The person I have sold the coilovers to isnt too happy as there seems to be no collar/mount that you see on them when new to fit the droplinks.

The previous owner/user of the coilovers fitted the shortened/adjustable droplinks and directly fitted them to the hub. I have a photo showing this in the Inspection report from the car and he seemed to do his research on this forum and that seemed to be what JIC users did?

Now from my understanding if you run the standard droplinks to the collar/mount higher up they are not very reliable and can snap. So uprated adjustable droplinks are really necessary while upgrading to coilovers but should these mount to the hub due to their shortend length and to improve better rigidity?

I really do not want to go down the tricky refund route and especially for someone to loose out on using these great coilovers over a slight misunderstanding on the fitting of the droplinks to the coilovers/hub?

Thanks in advance

Yep, fit them to the hub "pinch" bolt I think is what it is called - the bolt that squeezes the top of the hub around the strut body. I think a vendor has some curved ones that work better, but I have straight ones and they are fine.

My understanding duplicated the above response: JIC proposes using the pinch bolt, but their DLs tended to fail. Other vendors have different design drop links. Moton uses the same pinch bolt. Tarrett has a modified mount version (in addition to the pinch mount above), FYI [edited]

Picture:

My motons are the same as in the picture above using the same type of bolt mount. Drop links are from tarret engineering.

I should have clarified- tarret has two kinds of 996TT links- the kind above and a modified version:

TRG drop links are the 1s w/ the curve to them.
