[QUOTE="Gpcalero, post: 16516455, member: 155311"] Question: "Is a Watts link worth it compared to an adjustable Panhard rod?" If it is about performance then know the differences between the two. An adjustable panhard bar centers the axle at a given ride height. Great for most. As the suspension articulates, the rear end moves up and down. This momentarily changes the ride height and the axle will be slightly off center during the suspension travel. Again, this is because the panhard bar is set at ride height and cannot self adjust during suspension travel. A Watts link centers the axle even during suspension articulation. But it is larger and heavier. As the suspension travels, the linkage arms lengthen and shorten to keep the axle centered at all times. Nice to have & I like mine. Answer really depends on if the money is worth it to you or not. Price vs. value on a car you only drive in the summer. Lot of people seem to do just fine with a panhard bar. If you want it and the money is not the concern, get it. If not, then skip it. Your decision. [/QUOTE]
