broken drop links on my JIC setup

Need some help here. I have a broken drop link on my 996TT with the JIC Cross setup. Does anyone know where to get good drop links for the car that won't make a racket because they rub on something?

Thanks in advance.

Boris

Try The Racer's Group, I got new drop links for the front for my Techart coilovers.

Are these the old design links or the new ones? How old is the system?

To be honest, despite hearing a lot of good things about
the Cross suspension, the drop link issue has put me
off.

Good luck sorting out. At least from what I've heard, they are easy to replace.

don't know if it is the new system or old system.

yes very easy to replace.

what puzzles me is... breaking them on the street without excessive handling is just odd.

The drop links are the part that connect the sway bar to the brake carrier correct?

What sway bars are you running and settings. This is usually the cause. I have run mine for a year with no issues. Post pics of how it broke and I will help you with a JIC replacement or get you TRG ones.

Thanks
