I wouldn't advise that mate unless you have lowered suspension as the shorted droplinks were made for the lower suspension.

Bit of confusion here I think - the link you posted is that of standard height front droplinks. These will suit the FTO fine whether lowered or not. The only shortened droplinks you can get AFAIK are the rear ones (recomended only if lowered) here - http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m3b0s10p418

ok you are right, but let me explain....

here in my country i only found a front links shorter than the original ones....

this is stupid but they are only 1.5cm shorter, but I thought, there is a reason for that long if i change for a shorter something change but what??

or there is no change at all??

1.5cm will make little or no difference to OE spec.

maybe you are going to hate me :(

but my question is, what is that change?? let´s say are .5 times longer that oem, the suspension get stiffer or soft or not stable.

my question is because I dont understand the fisics involve in a sway bar. :oops:

You won't be able to notice the difference apart from the fact it will feel a lot tighter than having run on shot droplinks up to now.

I would personally favour slightly shorter front droplinks - the OE spec are too long IMO.
