yes u need mondeo drop links make sure u get the correct ones, its better to go to a store (ford or carcraft etc) as you can see that its the correct one as i bought sum of ebay i think they must of bin the newer model as they was exactly the same size as my current ones. the correct ones shut b a little bit smaller n fatter.

Is that a known issue with the AP ones? When I changed to KW coilovers the mounting point for the droplink was different so I didn't have an issue when I used the original ones..... might be worth checking if you definitely need to with AP ones.

Same with my Weitec's, the mounting point for the droplink was much higher up the damper than the original one.

It's probably worth waiting until you get the APs and then comparing. A couple of days with long droplinks won't kill the car if you don't lower too much.

Don't waste your money with mondeo links, buy vmaxx shortened links. They are considerably shorter than the mondeo ones and cheaper! Winner! :D

True, the mondeo droplinks are only ever so slightly smaller than the polo ones, where as the Vmaxx ones are tiny.

If your going really low go with Vmaxx to be safe, 50mm or above mondeo ones will do fine.
