Who has a watt's link installed?
 
Who has a watt's link installed? I'm thinking this is my next mod. I need better cornering stability, especially on the tollway. Does it keep the axle more planted like they say. Hopefully it eliminates the corner hop/see saw action altogether. I also read Steeda's new rear X brace helps with this as well.

The watts link completely changed the rear end of the Boss. The typical issue when going over uneven roads and bumps are now taken care of however, I would advise getting a front sway bar, with the ass end completely planted you'll turn your car into a snow plow. Meaning that your car won't turn and will keep wanting to go straight. I wasn't a "believer" until I put one on the car.

I want a watts link :(

Good to know Jayman. I'm stacking my chips now for that watts link. It will probably be late fall before I make a move. It will defintely be a Christmas gift.

I run the Fays 2. It's cool I guess.

Had watts link on my 07...wheel hop gone...but like Jason said I had to get an aftermarket front sway bar to help with turning as it dug in HARD!

saunupe1911 08-06-2013 02:56 PM

what sway bars did you guys go with...BMR..Whiteline? I'm trying to plan everything ahead of time.

saunupe1911 08-06-2013 02:56 PM

I might grab the sway bar now and just sit on it.

I run the Eibach sways.

I run Eibachs too and love them.

I used the BMR and was pleased with it. I have heard good things about the Eibach as well.

Cool, I'm leaning towards the Eibach sway bars to match my Pro Kits. I'm glad to hear the Whiteline watt's link works very well. I was a little concerned about them based upon that UCA incident.

Anybody have any input on the Fays 2 watts link? It's a different design and is much cheaper.

Is one design better than the other? I beleive I read somewhere that the Steeda and WhiteLine "on-axle" watt's link designs don't meet SCCA regulations or something like.

Sway bars are the last mod for this car, if anything upgrade the front. Most importantly you would need to upgrade your dampers to properly support the springs, if you haven't upgraded those yet.
