Default Watts Link

Anyone running a Watts Link?

Looking for a local supplier, or a used setup if anyone is selling one.

I've talked to several people that run them and love em. Most run the Fayes II from what I've seen.

I plan to run an MWC one on mine. Fays2 makes a good one I'm sure but it weighs 29 lbs whereas the MWC one weighs ~10 lbs and clears Kooks true duals. Seconded on the talked to people that run them and they say it makes a night and day difference. Sam Strano says even though it helps mostly with handling it should help in straight line since it keeps the body from shifting left to right. If you've got the coin I'd say go for it.

Hadn't heard of that one. Their website didn't list a price, that's not a good sign haha. Do you know the price?

Also, was kind of hoping Texas Speed or someone local sold them. Not a huge problem though.

Got a new job on the horizon, if that happens that will be my present to myself.

Their website does not list it. I plan to do their LCAs, torque arm, k-member, etc. Here's a link to it. Given the thread is only a week or two old that may be why it's not listed on their site.

I emailed them today, they said $670 + shipping, which is just slightly cheaper than Strano's Fays 2.

Looks really nice, can't believe the weight savings! If that's true, I'm definitely going to go with the MWC link.

We just released our new BMR watts links last week. Our new watts link is considerably less expensive but still offers improvements over the other brands available. Here is a link to the BMR watts link off our website:

It basically replaces the panhard bar and allows the rear suspension to articulate yet still keeps the rear end located properly. It also allows for roll center adjustments to be made on the car.
