Whiteline Watts Link@ SEMA

[GT500662]

Had a in depth conversation with a guy about my car at the whiteline booth today. He pretty much sold me on adding this to my car. Can anyone already using this give me some feedback? My car is a PP car and not a track pack car so I would not have to worry about the diff cooler.

I don't think Whiteine is the choice for most GT500 owners, anybody running Whiteline products? I would think BMR or Steeda would be superior from my knowledge.

Search for "whiteline control arm failure" thus is why BMR beats whiteline.

Griggs or Cortex!!

BMR doesn't have a watts link.... yet. They have said they are developing one.

 

[GT500662]

I'm running the BMR lower now....I was just thinking of adding the watts link if it was advised by others.

Griggs or cortex for a watts link. Don't even look at anyone else imo

Cortex watts link here and love it.

Cortex gets my vote.

Sorry for the BMR/Steeda confusion, I was speaking of suspension components solely. I didnt consider the fact that the watts link was not produced by everone. Carry on!

No need to apologize as BMR has been working on a Watt's (actually two versions) for quite some time now.

I had a full BMR rear end set up. I replaced the panhard and a couple of other parts in favour of a Watts link. The rear end now has the Cortex Racing Watts Link, catch-can and torque arm. All I can say is awesome!! It is so predictable and planted. Definitely worth the upgrade. It mixes well with BMR and the stock shocks. (PP & TP car)

I chose Cortex over Griggs because it looked like a very well machined and integrated piece of kit... even though it replaced the diff cover. There is a full review here

I did not see the torque arm in the story there. Do you have pics of yours?

Try this. This is pretty helpful.

Fanatastic forum. I wonder how many will realize that they have to start at the bottom of the linked page and then follow the thread...up.

What is the NVH like with the Watts and torque arm?

Third link is replaced by the torque arm supporting the diff from underneath. So any noise from the third link and the panhard are removed in favor of the watts and torque arm assembly. Less clunking.

When we first fitted the torque arm we put the bolts in the wrong way around... Near the top of the torque arm the clearances are very small with the left hand exxo, the torque arm and the right hand exxo running parallel with each other. The exxo and engine noise was transferred straight in to the cabin! This was solved by reversing the bolts and it is perfect now.

All said, less noise and vibration... Slightly stiffer and way way more predictable at every level.
