Fays2 Adjustable Watts Link vs (Aftermarket) Panhard Rod
Hi all,
I currently have a Hotchkis Panhard Rod in the back of my '82 T/A, and when the upgrade was done a few years back I certainly noticed the improvement. Recently though a friend of mine was talking to me about the Fays2 Adjustable Watts Link to replace my Panhard Rod and I was just wondering if anyone out there had one of these that they used in a replacement of a Hotchkis, BMR, Spohn, etc. aftermarket-brand Panhard Rod and how noticable the change was.
It's not a ton of cash, ($650) but it's certainly more than the ~$150 Hotchkis Panhard Rod cost me.
Not thinking about doing it in the near-future, but I am considering it for down the road when it's engine swap time.
As always, thanks for your thoughts all!

I have one, car not running. It's not 100% bolt in for a 9 bolt rear. Needs fabrication for the rear sway bar.

What type of 9 Bolt do you have? I'm looking at the Strange Engineering S60 myself.
