There are two versions of drop links for the mondeo, metal and plastic pictured below, metal being the most popular

I take it they're the smaller ones in that picture? If I'm honest (although I can't really tell as there's no real point of reference in the picture) they look the same, or maybe even a tad bigger than the VMAXX ones. When you say they are too short, what happens? As the VMAXX have be reported to be fine!

The V-maxx ones are way too short on AP/Weitec/KW coilovers. On these coilovers the pick up point for the ARB on the strut is in a higher position than the one on the standard strut so don't really need shorter drop links...

I bought the V-maxx for my Weitec's but they're so short they bring the ARB so high it cuts into the inner wing and bends the pick up point on the strut, lucky there are two ARB pick up points on each strut!
