"Why do I need these? The factory drop links are just a bar that attaches the front anti roll bar ends up to the front damper. The OEM links were made the length they are for a reason - to compliment the standard ride height. But when you lower ride height, the car will now be pulling your anti roll bar ends up, pushing it out of its operating window, and forcing the link to sit at a sharper angle."

All I can think now is ... oh no, my anti roll bar is being pulled up!!

Was about to say what you put.

Depends how low you go, and whether they catch other parts. But when lowered your anti roll bar is not working 100%

LOL @paddy6789 will buy them as they have a RacingLine logo on them, even though he doesn't need them as his car isn't low enough.

. I thought exactly that!

How low would the car need to be to warrant having these because I have lowered my car.
I have a mk3 cupra 2016 and I've got KW Plug N Play Coilovers

It depends on if the ARB curved ends end up touching the drive shafts normally, nothing more as the ARB is free to move, it is only there to apply a downward load on to the other side of the car, it can not apply an upward load.

Apologies for the crude drawing. But as you lower the car the angle of the anti roll bar gets pushed further down. If you lower to much it has chance to fowl the drive shaft (in purple) so you need to fit shorter drop links to straighten the angle of the anti roll bar:

So shall I look at the clearance between the anti-roll bar and drive shaft to make sure it's ok?
How much clearance should there be?

Enough so that they never make contact on full suspension travel.
