    Is anyone running a watts link? If so could you post up some pics? And i have a few questions. I know most watts links have the links mounted to the frame and the center pivot mounted to your axle or whatever it may be centering. But my question is, can you mount the center pivot to your frame and the links to your suspension, lets say your ladder bars or split wish bones? And another question is, if you run the center pivot mounted to the frame. do you bars still have to be level at ride height or can you mount them where they are on the same plane as your center pivot? Any help or pictures would be great. thx

    The relative heights of the centre pivot versus end pivots will affect your roll centre. I don't know a whole lot about it, bu do know its easy to get wrong. Rumor has it that when they were first introduced to touring cars here in Oz, some of the field leaders had over 10 goes at it before they would race on them.
