I'd have to say shocks first in your case, but would prefer we talk first to make sure that's the right recommendtion.

Would there be a rubber mount version possible? I'm averse to
rod ends, my car is a daily driver. I like the Watts idea, the
Panhard does kick the car sideways on dips. But I'd rather not
sacrifice NVH and have stuck with (upgraded) rubber throughout
so far.
Glad you didn't decide to use the pumpkin, as I have seen on
other cars. I believe the clamp-slip fear could be fixed by a tack
weld or two (my tubes are welded and that was done on-car
with no ill effect).

This is not a "will be ready in December" kind of thing. Last week the ETA from Fays2 was 2-3 weeks. The more orders we get, the faster we get them, the sooner we'll see them. All about volume.

Oh.... when you can. There is not better time for me, it's hit and miss when I get crazy around here. Please leave a message if I don't answer.

This isn't a drag race thing. A Watts is a handling part. You can drag race on them, but you don't really gain a thing by doing so, it's on the street and around corners that this part is meant to, and does it's work. .

Shouldn't be an issue once we know the axle tube diameters. Starting with GM 10-bolts, then I think 12-bolt and 9" next, with the S60 to come. However, the unit itself is the same, only the mounting clamps would need to change, so that shouldn't be a long process once the production has started and the information we need is accurate.

Just measured mine, looks to be 3" for the axle tubes.
Is the torque arm affected at all with the addition of the Watts link? (settings and what-not)

The TA is not effected by the watts or PHB.

Ok, good to know. Is the POR-15 very thick? I don't want to supply 3" clamps and find the tubes are 2.9" and they don't stay tight. Again, I need accurate measurements and paint, especially thick paint, can mess with this.

I can provide some pictures tomorrow with the calipers on the axle tube if you would like, just have to get my stinking camera back.

Now those are the kind of numbers I needed.
