bilstein pss9 install help!! urgent
I have a set of pss9's i'm about to install on my 01 996 turbo.
The issue i'm having is while looking at the stock setup with the wheel off, there is a lower swaybar link that goes from the sway bar all the way up and attaches to the bottom of the factory spring holder.
It's a pretty long link and that attachment point is not located on the pss9's.
Is there supposed to be a aftermarket link that's suposed to attach to the pss9's for the swaybar? I did get rear links, but not front ones

The oem front links should work. I had them on my car when I bought it, and it was setup with my PSS9s, which are valved differently, but still the same body. I'm not at home with my car right now, so I can't tell you how they were setup originally, but you want to change them anyway... Also note, a lot of guys who are driving their cars on the street only remove their front sway bar, and some track ratts even do it... Helps with the understeer that these cars tend to have, due to the weight on the front end from the front drive "stuff".

Switch to the ones that use the wheel carrier pinch bolt. Less likely to break. I am sure the stock sway bar links are to long for the PSS10/9???? The Bilstein coilovers supply new front links. Here are the ones I recommend.

so I installed the Pss9s today---sure enough, the front sway bar links dont fit. They are just too long, or i'm doing something wrong.
Does anyone have a pic of stock swaybar links attached to the bilsteins? I'm getting mixed answers.
Also thanks vivid for the offer, but i'm gonna see if I can find a cheaper alternative for now.
