Thanks

Thanks!


I think I ran across his link just yesterday on a google expedition.

Why aren't watts links more popular? Any ideas?

No idea as to why but the idea and the engineering dates back to the 60's I think. Its been around for a long time.

what exactly is the advantage of having this, over say a CHE rear axle brace with panhard bars, UCAs, LCAs, and rear sway bar?
I dont think its worth $1200 for just that, unless its got some pretty damn good advantages...

So from the looks of it, the only people benefitting from this are the Road Racers?

I think you are right.


I can't see how a straight line racer would benefit at all. I'm building for twisty mountain roads.

scroll to the bottom of this link for an animated comparison of the watts link vs the panhard rod.

I checked out the link. Read the articles. Called and ordered link for my '06 GT convertible [blower + tune + cams + porting = 460rwhp]. Talked with Jim, he says will work fine for ragtop [some suspension parts are different].
It ships today.
Really neat that Jim Fay answers the phone.

My local roads are fun but lumpy, we'll see how it works.
