Default watts link

I have been looking at getting the fays 2. I know it replaces the phb and adjusts the roll center of the car. Do I still need to get lcas or does the watts also replace the lcas and what else should I get subframe connectors and a torq arm? I have bilstein shocks and strano springs umi tower bar and it might have sway bars too.

To measure your sway bars, pick up a cheap vernier caliper -- then you will know what size you have...

You do not need anything you don't want to get. The Fays2 does not come with LCA's, only the necessary things for the watts link to work on your car.

The Watts link only takes place of the PHB, not the LCA's, as mentioned.

As far as SFC's and a torque arm, it kinda depends on what you do with your car/what you want to change about your car. Why don't you give a few more details so we can recommend stuff for you.....

SFCs aren't necessary and your STB does nothing, everyone else covered the rest

Strut tower brace does too do something!

Gives short guys like me something to lean on when we change spark plugs.

Basically I want a road course car. I have the c5 brakes and 275 295 tires. I want to get the diff centred as the guy I bought the car from didn't get a adjustable phb to center the diff. So my rear end sticks out more on the left then the right. I would like to take her to the nurburgring and other tracks. But on throttle pick up u can feel the car move around the diff its weird so I think the lcas and watts link will help
