Are there any alternative Drop Links that can be found on other cars That can be used on the ZT/75 ?

As long as they are replaced as a pair and are fairly close to the original length you can use anything. The reason I know this a mate with an American car struggles to get parts here in the UK. He needed a drop link for its MOT and I popped into my local motor factor with the offending part to see what they had that was close. One for an Audi TT was close but about 2cm longer. Out of desperation I fitted a pair of these to keep equal tension on the roll bar and 3 years later it is still going strong.

Obviously check for clearance issues above and below but as long as it is close there should be no issues.
