Really? Let me go check it out. Thanks!

I just took a look at it. Price is great but i t looks really bulky next to something like the cortex watts link. Of course it's also half the price. Maybe someone could chime in with pros and cons of both types of watts, the ones that bolt on to the differential cap and the one like this or the fays2?

Maybe I just rename this thread considering how far it has drifted from the original AGS 4 question

The new BMR watts weighs 22 lbs.

I emailed Vorshlag, told them what I had, what the symptoms where and what I wanted. Hopefully they will put together a package that keeps as much of what I already have and just replaces those parts I picked wrong or didn't replace, like the sway bars.

You'll probably want to hash out the final details over the phone.


Cliff's Notes on the differences between the two styles of Watts links . . . as rear ride height varies, the chassis-mount kind holds the front to rear distribution of the roll moment constant and lets the rear roll center effect vary, while the differential-mounted version fixes the roll center effect and lets the roll moment effects "float". There are very slight differences in axle roll steer as well (the rate of axle steer for diff-mounted one is slightly less, though not by enough to be the main basis for deciding which kind of WL to get).

Assuming similar tuning for steady-state (midcorner) cornering, the differences will show up during the transients, most likely as the rear rises on corner entry (under drop throttle & increases in the amount of braking) and falls on exit (squats under power). You may or may not notice, stiffer springs and axle geometry modifications tend to reduce this effect anyway, and FWIW a PHB pretty much splits the difference down the middle.
