Default Sam's Sway bars and Steeda Watt's link

Does anyone know if the Steeda Watt's link will work with Sam Strano's rear sway bar? I would just call Sam and ask him, but I'm more curious about it then serious about buying one. I didn't want to bug him about something I'm not really serious about.

Directly from Sam's site . . .
Part #: 8337
Brand: Stranoparts
NOTES:
1. This bar will not clear the extra bracing present on Convertibles, this is a coupe only fitment. We have other bars that will work on convertibles.

2. This bar does fit 2011+ Coupes. The smaller diameter means improved rear traction in corners and over bumps. Adjustment means you can tune roll stiffness to your needs, not what Ford stuck you with. Hollow construction saves weight.

7/8" tubular .156" wall tubing. 3-position adjustable. New 88 durometer urethane bushings, all mounting hardware. Complete with grease and all hardware for mounting.

Made from the ST52.3 alloy. Unlike other adjustable rear bars, the Strano rear bar bolts to the body--not the axle so there is zero increase in unsprung weight from the bar change, and overall a savings of about 5 pounds vs. a stock Ford rear bar (and even more with larger aftermarket solid bars) and does not preclude use with a Watts link, and confirmed to fit with a Fays2 Watts link.

Available for the following vehicles:
Ford Mustang, 2005-2010
Ford Mustang 2011+

Thanks, Norm. I hadn't noticed the Fays watts link. It looks stronger and cleaner then the Steeda link to me. Do you concur?

And yes, my rear bar will work with a Fays2 unit (and a Steeda unit as well). In fact I had a Fays2 on my 2007 when I developed the rear bar, and one of the things we wanted to make sure is that it worked in conjunction with a Watts link of that type.

Sam, question for you. A little off topic but is a watts link ESP or STX/U legal? Just curious since you've put more ideas in my head since our last phone conversation

Legal for ESP and I believe ST classes as well (I'd have to look but recall they use the SP rule on axle location).

Thank you Sam, I know you were the ESP national champ in your camaro before you had the mustang. So I figured you would know best.
