I need help adjusting the pivot point (roll center) of my watts link. Right now I have my watts adjusted so the pivot point is in the center of the diff cover when the vehicle is at static ride height. Now that I am doing more drag duty, is the watts link hurting me? Am I better off with the Panhard setup? If the watts is beneficial, how should I adjust it for the launch and straight line track? I know that the road course setup I wanted to make my roll center low as possible, but now I am a little confused.

I am asking in this part of the forum because the suspension guys that really understand the watts link will be here and probably not poking around on the drag section.

Thanks guys!

I'd ask the drag guys where you want the roll center, just don't mention the Watt's link to keep it simple..or at least not until they start asking how the eff you're able to adjust it.

Have you asked FAYS2 for their suggestions?

I found them helpful with answering questions about their products.

I called Fays2 for you. They said you should stop drag racing and go back to road racing.

Funny Paul. After I hit 10's in a car that is full interior and weight, then I'll consider it. Since my best run Monday at Atco was 11.0xx I am close (and we know what the weather has been like around here lately). Hopefully when the cold air comes back, I can rip off a pass or two at that then reconsider what I am going to do.
