I've fitted a set of the prosport coilovers recently. While doing so I noticed one of the drop link ends was split and dry. Got a slight knock from it. My question is, because it is lowered by quite a bit and the shock position in relation to the anti roll bar on the subframe is further away should I consider long drop links? The p2 model links are 30mm longer than the 850.

Yup Meyle HD's for me. AllGermanParts used to be the cheapest by a country mile, not so anymore. Worth having a good look everywhere online, Amazon, Ebay etc.
