What would be the advantage of using shorter links?  I've always used
the stock length links on my cars and they seem to handle fine to me.

Anyone have a ball park on what I should be shortening my front and rear
sway links to take into account the drop in suspension for using intrax
springs? I remember a a while back a dicussion on this. I have a firent
willing to make me up some adjustable length frront and rear links. Ii
have ALOT of preload on the rear swaybar to the pint I haave to jack the
wheel up ALOT to make the link fit. I haave access to a seet of corner
scales so I thinnk I can adjusst the amount  of preload from the 26mm
sway in the rear, and I hope to have a 22mm front bar soon, cause the 24
mm bar is too stiff up front with my quaife and konis.
 
Thanks
