Meh in my opinion the car felt much more stable after I put it on and did a track day with it. It was the only change made. Your results may vary.

No thanks for that clarification, that was something I was not aware of before, and I was planning on installing Boss S arms.

Because I was randomly asked about my Watt's link for some reason haha

Haha, with just 220ish WHP, I don't believe I am approaching Spaceball level speeds just yet.

Thanks for the great explanation, really informative. Btw, I know the Watt's link isn't a fix all mod, but it did help with the rear end over bumps as compared to the pan hard. Made it a lot more predictable IMO.

Yea I've had no problems that I can tell. I'm mildly lowered and haven't touched the LCA's.

Gotcha. Wasn't sure of the exact definition of bump steer besides for the obvious haha

Ha well when your steering wheel starts shaking on a straight, you notice somethings wrong.

What do you call the LRA bouncing around when in a turn, which the Watt's link settles down? Just instability?

I mean the rear end doesn't dance around as much when hitting bumps in turns anymore, so I think it did. In its current set up, it doesn't really bother me much anyways, but that might be me being used to how the car is, and I don't know any better.

Ugh that sucks but I'm glad it was mentioned since I didn't know that was something I would have to do. My wife thanks you because that means I'm going to be buying cheaper parts now haha.

So if you install Boss S front control arms, you should install a bump-steer kit too? Ugh, I might go back to buying the FRPP arms since I don't really want to spend more money or time to replace my blown ball joints.

Btw Terry runs in TT3, so I don't know what all you have done to your motor, but you should be starting out there. Unless you also lightened your car.

Damn that really sucks you're going to part the beast out :(. And it really sucks that you're going to be parting out all these awesome parts when money is tight for me right now!! Ughhh

O and also, I agree with the sentiment that the adrenaline rush in W2W is unlike anything in HPDE. I experienced my first taste in a Lemons race last year, and even in those crap cans, it was a god damn blast.

Very cool thread. I started in Autox for a couple years, but after my first HPDE I was hooked and have hardly done anything but that since. The last autox I did was over a year ago, and that was in my Focus SVT daily driver (a pretty damn fun car to autox in). I eventually want to move up to TT...

Ok cool that's what I figured.

Any reason you wouldn't do a Watt's Link over the PHB? Or are we just trying to keep the kit components comparable?

Did you try getting yours fixed under warranty?

Can you not get them repaired under warranty? Damn I was under the impression that was possible.

Yea sorry haha it made sense in my head.

Should've clarified that. I meant on the street, which is hardly ever, until I can get them fixed. Then keep the konis if I can get them repaired because they've served me well.

I'm not 100% sure what a blown strut feels like, but I have had them on the car for at least 4 years, so it would be an interesting test of durability. If they're blown though, I'll probably keep on running them because they have been serving me well so far.

They lost me as a customer. I went to the Direzza Star Specs on the rear, and even that was a compromise because it was smaller than I wanted. But if the regular Rivals are available next time I need tires, I will take a look because I love the Rivals on the front of my car.

Terry that is a great post. Never even really thought about the Koni's being blown because I assumed my car rode like crap because race car. I might have to check all the shocks when I do my Boss S control arms now, since I will be taking off the spindles to get milled anyways. I will report my...
