Finally got my watts link installed
I have had a fays Watts link for about 4 months.Took me forever to get around
to installing it on my 2000 t/a ws6.My back went out and then I got busey.My friend has been unable to help me.I wanted another set of hands.
I installed the sway bar spacers.Then on another day broke off the brake line clips and used a grinder to grind them down.Today I finally installed the watts link by myself.I had a few problems during the install,but everything worked out in the end.It took most of the day.
.It's a lot easer if you have a friend help you.
Anyway I drove the car tonight and holly crap what a huge difference.The car
is more controlable and more glued to the ground.I noticed the difference even on the freeway going in a straight line.It's also more stable when I change lanes.I took it in a canyon on some curves and this car handles killer.This thing is everything everybody says it is and more. My other
suspension mods include Koni 4/3 sa shocks,Strano hollow sway bars.Lower perch/heater hose mod,Edelbrock LCA's.
The Fays2 Watts link was well worth every penney I payed for it.Not inexpensive but,anything that's good usually isn't cheap.It was better than I expected it would be.

I went back in and re-adjusted my watts link today.I had to put a spacer in and do a re- tweek.
I drove it again tonight.I think it was binding a little.You really notice the difference on acceleration from 50 miles an hour and up.Cursing on the freeway at 80 the car is way more solid.In canyons it is so much more predictable.I don't notice any any difference in the way it rides at all.Even when I stand on it from a stop and go thru the gears in a drag race the car is equally more solid.
I spoke to Jim Fay on the phone and he said he recommended that people get shocks and a Watts link first before all the other modifications.I would agree.This part was deffinately worth the money.I would highly recommend this to anybody who want's a way more solid car. Give Sam Strano a call,he a dealer or call Jim Fay .

That would be a variable that one can only determine after trying different RC heights. He's free to tell you, but changed in RC height begets other changes to balance, reaction time and the desire for varying amounts of roll stiffness.
