Drop links...... So, these adjustable drop links from the US, fair enough they look like quality items, however, the standard drop links do the job (not as well im sure). So, why not take a pair of standard links to a welder, ask him to cut out the standard 12mm rod & reweld a 14mm rod thats 40mm shorter than the original? That would give the right 'balance' on the ARB that volvo intended & put less stress on the ARB bushes. I feel tha would make the front end tighter & more responsive. Any ideas or comments?

Yep you are right you could just cut the middle out and make an adjustable system. I can't weld and I don't have access to a lathe etc.. to make them. I'm buying mine as part of the QBM group buy because in the small Volvo tuning world They have one of the best reputations with some tried and tested modifiers.... If you are able to make them then go for it, there not that complicated to do..
