Watts Link on Vert - who's tried it?

[Doc Vegas]

I posted a thread on the science of wheel hop and a side discussion started on what my "real" issue is... I hate the side "hop" I get when going around corners or hitting bumps in corners (frightening at times). Someone suggested a Watts Link and I started looking around. Seems like a VERY nice piece. I am partial to the Whiteline unit, but it seems it is only for coupes. Anyone running one on a vert or got some advise?

Thanks

Fays makes a Watts Link with the correct piece to go around the support brace that is Convert. specific. <At least on the earlier GT500 Converts.

Here is a thread from 2010 on Team Shelby when I asked about the Fays2 Watts Link. The second post is from a Convert. owner and it shows the Convert. specific braces and the link that is made to work around one of those braces...........

If your 2011 has those same two braces, this may be the set-up you are looking for. I know 2011-up changed some structural things on the bottom side, especially on the Convert., so "maybe" yours does not have the braces shown?

Thanks Robert! Everything I read seems to be very positive for the Watts link. I like the look of the Whiteline best, but I guess it won't work on a vert.

Hope some others who tried this will chime in too!

I thought a while back I read somewhere that BMR was doing a watts link. Might want to check with them about being a prototype for verts if they are to that stage?
