Which SPL front ARB end link w/ Öhlins R&T kit?

IamFODI · 07-04-2022, 04:15 AM

Have an Öhlins R&T kit set to ZCP ride height, and want to replace my ARB end links with SPL. Gotta be SPL because FCP Euro sells them, and I want that sweet lifetime guarantee.

Thing is, SPL has two options for the front: one lists a maximum length of 11.9", and the other lists a minimum length of 12.9". That means there's a 1" dead zone between the two options.

I measured my OE one at 12.5" from bolt to bolt – right in the middle of the dead zone between the two SPL options.

So, which SPL option do I pick? Shorter or longer?

You would get the 12.9 but I would advise against that and just get keep oem unless you're looking to corner balance which you probably aren't. Lifetime is great but OEM will last a lot longer and you can get that from FCP as well
