He Guys,

pretty basic question but just would like to know if its worth putting a watts linkage on a leaf sprung car?
would i still get the same peformance with it compared to a coilover rear end and will it be noticable? or would it just be a waste of time, cause at the end of a day its just a better version of a sway bar.

Also i need to organise some rear leafs for my car soon. I want to set it more up for track use but still will be a street car. So what would use recomend, re-set's or off the shelf new ones?
I just want it to handel and corner really well.

open to all thoughts as sure there is much more experience in this area then myself?

Thanks dayne

A watts link with chassis mounted centre crank/pivot that is adjustable for roll centre height will make a big dfference to the handling, as well as positively locate the diff to reduce/eliminate sideways movement.

simon, i was looking at getting the watts link the geoff at euro speed does and has adjustable roll center adjust ment, and i think they also have arm adjustments aswell just not 100% sure on that one.
