[QUOTE="Steve@TF, post: 16491153, member: 40308"] oh shit its on! Race Wars! Race Wars!! [MEDIA=youtube]N1D4Xz-3YE4[/MEDIA] ive had both. i had the MM adj panhard bar and then jumped to BMR axle mounted watts link. the first thing i noticed, how HEAVY the bmr unit is. compared to a simple bar from MM lol. the BMR unit must have added 50lbs to the rear end. i definitely notice it on the street and freeways when there are big dips especially in turns. it also helps when youre running wide/fat tires on the rear and sit low. no chance of the axle moving sideways and putting the tire into the fender. had that happen to my car when i had the adj panhard bar (when running less than optimal tire/offset set up). was it worth it? sure, especially since i got the bmr watts right when it came out and got it cheap. for a little while i regretted selling the whiteline watts i had but it broke on my buddy who bought it off me. he reinforced the break/weld and it was good after that. they have a great design for a street car. and very light. i vaguely remember discussing the bmr axle mounted watts vs diff mounted. i think it was with kelly at bmr, maybe van. he said the diff mount was definitely better but if you dont want to mess with the diff than the axle version works well. (just not AS good). unfortunately it adds a lot of weight due to the beefy steel brackets. something i didnt think about until my buddy who was installing it said "why are you adding all this weight to your car?" lol. if i had to do it again, i would probably go for the diff mounted unit. perhaps even still the whiteline due to their poly bushings. i dont want any sperical joints on my car.
