This product is a set of four OE Match anti-roll bar drop links - two for the front and two for the rear - that connect each stabiliser (anti-roll) bar to their respective suspension arms on the 911 (964). Drop links play a crucial role in the vehicle’s suspension dynamics by transferring lateral loads during cornering and reducing body roll.

The links in this kit ensure the anti-roll bars can effectively resist body roll by transferring forces between the bar and suspension arms. This enhances stability, grip, and handling precision:

•  Front drop links (96434307101 & 96434307201): Connect the front stabiliser bar to the front suspension
  Rear drop links (96433307371 & 96433307402): Connect the rear stabiliser bar to the rear suspension

By replacing both front and rear links with OE Match units, you help restore balanced roll resistance across all four corners of the vehicle.

Function:
   Transmits stabiliser bar forces into the suspension arms
   Reduces body roll during cornering
   Improves handling balance and steering precision
   Helps maintain tyre contact and grip
   Supports stable, predictable suspension behaviour at speed

Anti-roll bar drop links endure constant movement, loads, and heat from everyday driving and spirited use. Over time, their joints and bushings can wear or loosen, resulting in:
  Clunking or knocking noises over bumps
  Increased body roll during cornering
  Loose or vague steering feel
  Uneven tyre wear
  Compromised suspension balance.

Replacing both front and rear drop links with a matched OE Match set restores correct stabiliser bar function, helps maintain predictable handling, and provides a more stable and confident driving experience.

When to replace.  Install this complete drop link set when:
  You hear suspension noise from either front or rear end
  Handling feels loose or unsettled
  The vehicle exhibits excessive body lean
  You are performing a complete suspension overhaul or alignment
  The original links show visible wear, play, or deterioration

Drop Link Sports With 85 Shore Rating, Front.
Upgrade the front anti-roll bar linkages of your Porsche 964 with this high-performance sports drop link set. Designed specifically for the front left and right sides of the 964 C2 / C4 (1990-94) with the M030 sport suspension, these links feature an 85 Shore rated bushing material for minimal compliance and maximum chassis feedback. The result is improved roll resistance, sharper turn-in, and a more connected steering feel. Ideal for restored, tuned or track-prepped 964s, these direct-fit replacements deliver both performance and durability.

Fits:
  • Porsche 964 (911) C2 1989-93
  • Porsche 964 (911) C4 1989-93

What This Product Does:

  • The front drop link connects the front anti-roll (sway) bar to the suspension (often via control arm or strut), transmitting roll forces and enabling the bar to limit body roll during cornering.
  • A key role is to ensure that the anti-roll bar engages properly without undue delay or unwanted movement; the drop link is the “lever” that transfers motion.
  • With the “85 Shore” version, the bushings (or joint material) are firmer (i.e., higher durometer) than the standard version — meaning less flex or slack in the link under load, so the anti-roll bar responds more directly and the front end remains flatter in corners.
  • In practical terms this yields sharper front-end handling, reduced body roll, and a more direct “connected” feel through the steering and chassis.

Symptoms & Signs You Might Need This:
  • Clunking or knocking noises from the front suspension when going over bumps or through quick directional changes — suggesting the current drop link or its mount is worn.
  • Excessive body roll or vague front-end behaviour in corners — the anti-roll bar may not be transmitting load effectively due to flex in the link.
  • Uneven handling left vs right — if one drop link side is looser than the other, you might feel asymmetrical behaviour.
  • Soft or “mushy” front-end feel, especially if you’ve upgraded other suspension components (lowered car, stiffer springs) and the links are still standard and allowing unwanted movement.
  • On inspection: visible sleeve or bushing deterioration, play in the link joints, or rubber flexing significantly under load.

Why This Upgrade Matters:
  • The step from standard hardness to 85 Shore gives you a firmer connection in the drop link, meaning the roll bar is engaged more quickly and consistently under load. This is especially beneficial on a car like the 964 with sport suspension or for drivers seeking sharper response.
  • It helps preserve and maximise the benefit of other suspension upgrades (e.g., stiffer springs, upgraded shocks, larger tyres) — because the weak link is removed. If the drop link is still soft or worn, the rest of your upgrades may be compromised.
  • Better roll-control means more predictable handling, less chassis lean in corners, and improved tyre contact patch maintenance — which improves grip, cornering speed and driver confidence.
  • From a maintenance perspective: worn drop links often lead to bushing failure or increased stress on the anti-roll bar and associated mounts. Upgrading proactively can reduce downstream costs and improve longevity.
  • For a vehicle with sport heritage (964 C2 / C4) the upgrade aligns with the model’s dynamic capabilities, bringing front-end behaviour closer to tuned-chassis expectation.

The ideal swaybar is completely unloaded at static ride height. Stock drops links almost always preload the swaybar since the car doesn't sit perfectly level due to asymmetries such as driver weight.Our front and rear adjustable-length drop links for C4/C2 allow you to eliminate preload of the swaybar for maximum performance.

A preloaded swaybar shifts the weight carried by each of the tires, increasing grip on weighted tires at the expense of decreasing grip on un-weighted tires. This shifted weight/grip causes uneven handling in left and right turns, and premature brake lockup since the less-loaded tire locks up first. Preload can be completely eliminated by adjusting drop link length and swaybar performance optimized.
