Default watts linkage from sam strano

I have been reading as much as i can but can not find any really good reviews on this product. I am sure its 100% better then the ole adj. panhard just wanted to hear some personal experience from some people who have used it. I plan to buy this from Strano in the next week or two.

Being that it's not currently next week, I can't make any guarantees. But there are currently black units in stock. Red would have to be made (that takes a while). Generally they ship within a day as long as they are in stock.

Sam,
That means I should see my black one very soon then?

I'll be sure to give everyone an update on how it works. Getting anxious to try it out myself.

I installed a Watts link in my t/a about 3 weeks ago.The car is way more planted and predictable.It handles way better on curves and you can feel the difference changing lanes on the freeway.Even in a drag race from a roll, the rear end is way more stable.Deffinately worth the money.It really kicks ***.I would say that you will be supprised.It works better than I expected.

My other suspension mods are:Koni 4/3 shocks,lower perch/ heater hose mod,Strano hollow sway bars,UMI bolt in subframe connectors,Edelbrock lca's.It was everything Strano and Jim Fay said it was and more.Give Strano a call,he is a really stand up guy.

What are your other mods? Depending on what you got that's really saying something.

Sam,
Got it today. Looks good.....
The directions are very descriptive with photos.
All pieces are nicely finished/powder coated, nice welds & high quality rod ends.

Cannot wait to try it out.

It's not hard to install, but it takes some time and use of your head. Also helpful to ready the directions before trying it. It ain't as simple as a Panhard bar, but so far everyone has managed to get it done....
