Coilovers + Front Swaybar Links

Hi,
 
I just installed a set of Tein Super Streets into my SW20 and unfortunatlly they did not come with the adjustable Tein front links,
 
The factory ones are too long and I was reading that AW11 rear links might fit in the front of the SW20 with the Teins, can anyone confirm this or have any suggestions?

    My tiens came with them so I was fortunate to use them - I think other people either get hold of Tien ones or use the adjustable ones from Twos-R-Us.

    it may be easier/same cost to just go to repco and get some custom ones...  can you find out what length you need?

    I asked the last owner of the coilovers how long his front links were and he said 165mm.
     
    He said they were stock links, but front what I hear all stock links are to long for the Teins due to mounting point is relocated lower on the strut.

    hmm i thought it was just a case of fitting the late model front and rear links.
     
    vague memory of needing to do that with fitting cusco's.

    im pretty sure the stock one are too long and you need to use the ones from tein or buy aftermarket ones. As mentioned above repco sell adjustable ones if your desperate.
    the ones that come with TEIN dont have any green colouring on them or anything like that, they look like stock ones, so the P.O could have easily mistaken them for stock if he didnt install the coilvers and bought the car with them already.
     
    cheers

    My end links that came with the Tiens are green (were purchased from DB8). Even have green nuts to attach them with.
