Loving it. I had an adjustable PHB first and then switched to the Watts.

If you are going to slam your car (thereby limiting your rear susension travel) and drive it around a basically smooth racetrack - a WL is a waste of weight and money. If you are only going to moderately lower and then drive a combination of street and track then a WL is the way to go. The more suspension travel you have, the more the WL makes sense.

The Saleen (and now the TechCo) pumpkin mounted WLs are designed for stock to moderately lowered cars. The advantage to the Fays (and the copycats) is the ability to adjust the roll center.

De nada.

Looking through your mod list, if you want to make things stiffer you might think about a k-member brace (lots of manufacturers make them). Even Ford has acknowledged that this an area for improvement as they now include this bracing on new cars. <shrug>.

sick man, i think i'll stick with the kw coilovers to start with. i don't want to slam my car too much, just 1.4 in the fronts and 1.6 in the rear is fine with me.
