Removing watts link - going back to stock
Hi, I'm thinking of going back to the stock panhard bar and support brace and removing the fays2 watts link. Would someone with the stock panhard and support brace on a 2011+ mind taking a few pics under the car? I can't recall if I used the OEM bolts on the fays2 and want to make sure I still have them laying around somewhere before I start.
Thanks!
Thanks!

corruptor - they may be "one time use" bolts, in which case it doesn't really matter if you didn't use them in the Watts link installation and can't find them . . . or you did re-use them and would now be looking at putting them through a third torquing cycle.
Forty-two - I'm betting that getting the car to fit into a specific SCCA autocross class has something to do with it. In the "lower preparation" classes you are not allowed to swap or modify much at all.

I dunno, I love mine too much to go back to the PHB.

Yes, stock. I was being more general since 42 may not be (or care to become) familiar with SCCA rulesets.
I know what you mean about not wanting to return to a "less modified" class. More than once I've ended up in a real "P" class rather than the otherwise appropriate one in "SP".
