Droplinks Info
The Low Down
There are two versions of droplink setup on the turbo models.
Between Dec 1989 and Dec 1991 (Phase 1 EP82) the turbos shared the same setup as the non turbo models. It consisted of a straight bar with four rubber bushes on each side held in place by two washers on each side.
In 1992 the turbo model got it's own L-shaped antiroll bar links (and it's own antiroll bar to suit). The design eliminated two of the rubber bushes on each side replacing them instead with a newly added joint on the drop link.
This offered improved handling and the setup remained right up until the EP's demise in 1999.
