Are these the right Drop Links?

I know this subject has been covered a shed of times, but just wanted to quickly clarify something.
My mate bought some 'mondeo 2003' drop links from eBay, and upon arrival we inspected them.
Are these the correct ones? They seem a bit long,
Here they are compared to the OEM ones
Can any of you guys running them confirm whether these are the same as yours or not?
Cheers

i dont think they are the right ones mate, they look the same size as the standards, which has no benifit right? mine are about half the size of the standards i think, but mine arent mondeo ones, if that helps

personally i think the modeo ones are too long for coilovers
they will be fine for springs but i think if you are going low then you need to get some proper shorter ones like pips which are a lot shorter

i dont think it was like a package thing with vmaxx, the guy at teh shop just said you will need the drop links too, which will be £40 or something, so i said chuck them in too

I'm guessing they're the one Brad has then! Considerably more than the Mondeo ones though.
Yeh I spoke to J earlier, he said the mondeo ones work fine. Just a bit unsure as were going for a fully dropped stance.
Chris what's your ride height currently?
Anyone know if the ARB on the 1.2 and GTi are the same size? Because if the 1.2 one is smaller in diameter that'll also make a difference, and in our favour!

They look like the exact same ones that i got!!!
Only a bit shorter but they appear to have helped quite a bit!!!
Only knocking i get now is when i drop off the kurb at my GF's house when car is on full lock!!!
I'm only on H&R springs though!!!
