Working on the install.
I got the sway link spacers in
and the Fays2 frame
installed. Instructions say remove the brake line clips to move the brake line out if the way.
You guys grind them off? And do the lines move eay out if the way after clips removed?

Yes grind the clips down smooth.
The lines will move easy, just have to move them enough to get the axle clamps under the lines.
It's not a lot the lines need be moved.

Maybe my ADD was acting up that day but I thought the instructions just made the whole install harder. There is only really two important things when setting up the Watts. I ended up getting there just got there a different way. I highly doubt there will be a sale on this part. It was discussed in the big Watt's thread where someone was bashing Sam.
I know everyone's opinion is different but the Watt's made a huge difference in my car. I did strano's/koni 4/4/strano bars and then did the Watt's. The car always wanted to oversteer before but now I can actually push the front tires. I'm going to adjust the Watt's a little bit to see if I can get a little oversteer back.
For the price of the kit you get a whole lot. The only problem I had was the bolts they sent for the axle clamps were too short. I cleaned the rearend and ground out the 1/4 of powedercoating they put on the Watt's and it still wouldn't work. I talked to Jim Fayys and he didn't know why it wouldn't work. I ended up getting longer bolts from Rural King.

I think Sam Strano had free shipping when I ordered mine, but that was something like 2 years ago.
I noticed fairly dramatic differences in the roll center height. Mine it higher than what I started with because mine seemed to be a little more tail happy than I liked with a low roll center (I think it was only 1 under stock height).

You just have to take your time and read the directions carefully.Don't be in too much
of a hurry. The watts link makes a huge difference in the was the car handles.It is well
worth the money.

It works with other rear ends as long as it's not a fabricated housing. If you have a 12 bolt or a 9 inch I believe the only thing you do differently is not use the metal spacers that are used with the clamps that bolt to the rearend housing. Hope that answers your question.
