I'm now happy to announce we can take pre-orders on a Watts Link for all 82-02 F-bodies with stock diamter axle tubes. There is a version for bigger axle tubes (suck as 12-bolts, etc.) in the works.
They should be ready to ship in approximately 2-3 weeks. The unit is made by Fays2 who has been doing these for Mustangs for more than a few years. I not only trust the unit and have had all my questions answered, but will be putting one on my car as soon as possible. Jim and I have had a few discussions about the design and I'm happy to say he addressed my main concerns regarding approximate roll-center height. I wanted to make sure we could start @ stock height and adjust down as the owner sees fit. That has been done and implimented in this unit. Details, specs and a photo on a 4th gen can be seen here: http://www.stranoparts.com/partdetails.php...7&ModelID=7 (IMG:http://www.stranoparts.com/data/images/p30617181655.jpg) Price is $650 Plus shipping. Shipping costs will normally not exceed $30 in most cases. Fays2 own website has the pricing set lower, but after a discussion with Jim Fay, he informed me the prices are incorrect and will be changed. |

They can't ship together anyway.... (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Besides, do you want to wait on a month, two, a year until Ron decides what he wants to do (if anything) with his exhaust? The last message I got amounted to "that's about $2000, I'll have to think about it. |
