Bilstein PSS9 install question... I'm STUCK, swaybar end link?
 
The sway bar end links are bolted to the strut assembly in stock form... where am I supposed to bolt it onto on the PSS9's, I,m confused... car is disaasembled. what to do?:confused:

had to look at mine to confirm, but they mount to the wheel carriers. However, on mine I changed the links front and rear to solid links and not the flimsy stock ones.

Want me to post a pic?

Cheers
Aaron

once you take the stock strut out you'll realize that the upper mount for the sway bar link stays there, the mounting location will remain the same

Word of caution on this Purplxd, you have a C2 model and the OP looks to be a C4S which is a totally different front shock system. I do not believe the sway bar links mount the same for the front between a C2 and C4/C4S. Not sure your pics will be applicable. FYI

I figured out thru a bit more internet research that I need shorter sway bar end links for the front, the stock ones are to long to reach the new mounting point on the Pss9's. So back to Bilstein I go... thanks guys.

sorry my comment was also related to the C2...as for links many aftermarket companies make them, look at TRG and tarret racing for the adjustable links, these are also good for the price:

Thanks so much!:)

you welcome, I got a set of rear adjustable links from powergrid, just contact them to make sure they will work with the PSS9's since you say they need to be shorter then stock... i'm sure they can get you a centre section thats a tad shorter then the OE ones..

I have Turbo brakes on my car. So I changed the wheel carriers and the upper strut mounts. It's pretty identical I think, but sounds like he got it all sorted out.
