Lohen Front Adjustable Drop Links / End Links For F56 F55 or F57 MINI's
The Lohen adjustable drop links are a precision-machined, lightweight, aluminium upgrade over the standard MINI drop links. The key benefit of the Lohen drop links is that they allow you to make adjustments without removing the drop links from your MINI F55, F56 or F57.
The drop links (also referred to as end links) transfer roll stiffness generated by the anti-roll bar. Due to the Lohen drop links being adjustable, you will be able to change the angle of load on the anti-roll bar. These drop links are much lighter than the OEM MINI drop link (146 grams lighter than standard per kit).
The purpose of adjustable drop links is to ensure that there is no pre-load on the anti-roll bar when the vehicle has been changed from its factory settings/position.
If a vehicle has been lowered, for example, then the distance from the two mounting points may have changed. if you fitted the stock drop links you may find that it is difficult to get the holes to line-up, or there is resistance when fitting the mounting bolts. This is because the lower arm may be in a different resting position.
Whenever possible, drop links should be set with the vehicle sitting on its wheels. You can then check the distance between the two mounting points and adjust both drop links equally so there is little or no load.
If you have changed the factory ride height, you may also want to check that the drop links do not interfere or foul anywhere and that the joints don’t bind or over-rotate.
There is a misconception regarding anti-roll bars, that they should be level. on a road vehicle, this may be impossible due to vehicle packaging, the important part is that there is little or no pre-load on the anti-roll bar. So having an adjustment in the drop link allows you to remove preload from the anti-roll bar.
Best of all they come in a range of fantastic colours so will look great on any F55/F56/F57 MINI One, Cooper, Cooper S or JCW.
Please Note - You may notice more noise at low speeds when fitting these drop links compared with OEM drop links. This is due to the nylon dampening material inside the rod end that offers better wear resistance than typical brass materials to compliment the adjustability of the drop link.
Adjustment range is +/- 20 mm from the standard length. The drop links are delivered set to standard length.
Full bar and rod end weight (1bar) = 288 grams. standard drop link weight = 361 grams.
Per kit (2 links) the Lohen drop links are 146 grams per kit lighter than standard.
