Drop links and kw coilovers

Is anyone currently using kw coilovers with tarett droplinks in the front or rear? Can you comment on fitment issues?

I know this isn't what you asked, but I'd thought it could give you more info. I have KWV1 coilovers, stock front sway with KW supplied drop links. Rear is Eibart adj sway with stock drop links.

Do you know if the stock drop links would work? Or you had to use the kw ones

Tarrett has quite the assortment of different length and solution drop links. I would be shocked if the could not get you a solution. And they are really quality pieces.

The OE stock links won't work on the front. If you buy a new KW V1 kit, they are included, as is everything else needed.

Tarret + Ohlins were an issue. Bent the original ones. Tarret is aware of the issue and supposedly will send you a milled spacer for the drop links to avoid bending them. We fashioned our own by the time they came up with a solution.

I have KW Clubsports and Tarret drop links- no fitment issues.

Not sure, BBI sourced and installed them for a corner balance.

You might just want to call Tarett. They were really knowledgable and seemed to know was needed based on suspension setup. Even with my Frankenstein setup they put me on the right path.

I already did. They were super cool about it, but didn't know the answer. The guy I spoke with was willing to exchange or return if it didn't fit. That's why I'm trying to find out, less mailing stuff cross country...

I have KW3s and had a nasty spring noise when I turned the wheel with the provided KW drop links installed. I used these (link below) which attach via the through bolt. Looks like they were for sale recently but just sold. https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ront-pair.html
