Also I am uprating torsion bars and arb front and rear and thats the I want the adjustables so I can improve the bigger bars even further, also uprating all the bushes i.e wishbones, arb, engine with powerflex units. This combined with my Avo coilover units amd I think the handling will be superb.

Surely an anti roll bar is fully floating and free to rotate; the load is only caused when one wheel lifts in relation to the other and that load is transferred through the bar to try and lift the other wheel thus keeping the car flatter in the bends and preventing roll. The only thing I can imagine adjustable drop links doing would be shortening one side in relation to the other for oval circuits or on a circuit with lots more LH bends than right. You could then preload to reduce roll in LH but the RH although fewer would have more roll as the unwinding preloaded bar would initially work with the roll rather than against it. have I missed something obvious here?
Heavier links to cope with racing I almost understand but race circuits are much smoother than our pot hole ridden streets and the forces on a circuit are not likely to exceed that caused by hitting a pot hole with one wheel and all that sudden force as that wheel is hammered up and down while the other stays flat.

The main thing is for heavy duty side of things with the added bonus of being able to do these fine adjustments on certain circuits.

The only thing you can do via the adjustable ARB drop links is load one side more in relation to the other. Is that what you are trying to achieve?
#20: Re: Does anyone know the length of the drop links on the Gti Author: Project2062014, Location: CornwallPosted: Sat May 02, 2015 6:32 pm ---- Just use standard drop links . Get adjustable top mounts they will be worth every penny on or off the track !
22mm anti roll bar . 22 torsion bars in rear . Some 16/55/215 tyres and lightweight wheels . Red stuff brake pads .oil cooler !
Wasting money time and energy with a drop link .
