I'm having B16 damptronics put on my car but will be using a solid adj drop links. Based on what I'm reading in this thread, when doing that the bottom gets mounted opposite of the above photo. Can someone please clarify? Thanks

AFAIK and in my car, which has Bilstein Damptronic and GMG sway bars:

1. If you use the old Bilstein (looks straight, no bend) drop link or the Tarett drop link: the drop link should be outboard of the sway bar (towards the wheel), as in picture below. I have had both in my car installed this way and now at 100,000 + miles, there is no problem and no noise. I recall reading that if you install the old Bilstein drop link in the inboard position, one end could pop out, but I have no personal experience.
2. If you use the new Bilstein (one end has a bend) drop link, which I have zero experience with, but based on the picture above it is inboard of the sway bar.
