996 C2 GT3 Front Sway Bar Drop Links

Hey guys, trying to find replacement GT3 front sway bar drop links that will mount up to PSS9s? Dealership tried OEM 996 and GT3 spec ones but said they wouldn't work? Looks like a simple enough job to tackle, just need to get the parts/bolts/washers etc.

TIA,
Dub-U!

http://www.theracersgroup.com/shop/trgracing.php they are adjustables, give them a call... expensive though...$600 front and back

Edit: They dont bolt on PSS9's, they bolt on the wheel carrier

I got mine from Ira at Tarett. Quality was very nice and while I don't remeber the exact price I remeber finding it pretty reasonable.

Cheers,
Stan

I hear agency power offers some for around $200 for the front pairs, any experience with them? Almost tempted to just throw back the stock front sway bar...

I've heard that some Agency Power drop links have actaully failed, but I don't have any details. Does anyone have more info on this? Are there any other drop link failures stories w/the other makers (Tarett and TRG)?

Thx Redridge. I'm going to be staying away from AP endlinks. I'm now deciding between TRG and Tarret. Though on another board there have been some reports of TRG links failing as well. The explanation was that the set up was wrong. Anyone care to elaborate? Also, has anyone had any issues with Tarret?

If you adjust the links past the recommended length, you are compromising strength, check with trg what the length is, its usually measured center to center of the mounting bolts... Yeah I saw that post, maybe you should contact that person who had the failure.
