Get the true watts link for hardcore drag and racing.
Saleen makes a very good one and from your list
of mods, thats all you are lacking.

wrong

You will need to center the rear. a panhard bar and stiffer brace will be just fine. A panhard bar swings an arc as it travels. This changes the lateral movement of the rear differently when turning leftand right. A watts controls it evenly. This input is only relevant to a corner carver. A drag racer is wasting his money on a watts link.

Furthermore, the Saleen unit is more fad than finesse. It has poly bushings and no provisions for correcting roll center. Anyone that NEEDS a watts would buy a Griggs unit that does.

I spent a long time changing my car when it was my driving that needed the improving. I'm all about spending less money on needless stuff and more on BEER
That's funny! I like that philosophy.

ford put it there for a reason. it keeps the rearend centered and stabilized under spirited driving conditions. dont take it off.
