adjustability?

You can adjust the roll center on it. Thats pretty much the only adjustable part from what i can tell.

Pretty much to adjust the roll center you have to move the prop down or up a hole and then slide the axle clamps up or down [around the axles] in order to get the links parallel with the ground. It isn't that hard at all!

Also, the watts links are adjustable to you can position the clamps where you want them on the axle tubes to avoid breathers or whatever. This doesn't actually have a performance aspect but helps since everyones set up is a lil different.

I HAVE considered welding it if I decide I am very happy with how it is adjusted. I could see making a couple of tacks on each clamp to keep it in position yet still be removable with some work involved...

also when you all keep saying sway bar. you mean the real sway bar. or the two arms that come off that watts?

If you want. But you need to clamp them on first and make *SURE* everything is at the proper angle. But, so far we've had zero trouble with them slipping even under autox condistions on 315 Hoosiers that generate over 1.2g of lateral grip.

And I mean the real swaybar. It hang under the diff and pivots up behind the differential (and between the diff and Watts) when the suspension compresses.
