New uploads Monday,Wednesday, and Saturdays! For this video we visit GMG automotive to do a very strange but effective way to upgrade a live axle Mustang using a Watts Link! This crazy robot looking upgrade for Mustang suspension keeps the rear end in place and keeps it from hopping around causing trouble around the corners or bumps. We also go over the Mustang's recent wiring issue, and a donk shows up to the shop. Thanks for watching!

Please keep us posted on how the Whiteline setup holds up to your daily driving. There are a lot of people that bad mouth the Whiteline Watts Link because its priced cheaper than most of the other diff style watts links out there and they say the design doesn't hold up as well on the street. Since you drive your car all the time, it'll be great to see how it performs.

Sn197 chassis’s are a 3 link setup (one upper control arm and 2 lower ) while older sn95s are a 4link set up (2 upper and 2 lower.) And with a watts link you don’t need the Panhard bar anymore. With a watts link you can set up to loosen or tighten the rear handling.

I did the same upgrade to my GT500 - Whiteline Watts Link and Roush upper control arm. Also have the same Steeda rear sway bar as you do. You will have to grind down the spot you pointed out in your video to get the sway bar to fit. This set up works awesome. My GT500 has 654 to the wheels. The car handles the power much better and cornering is a night and day difference. You will enjoy your upgrade to a watts link.

Recently did a full suspension upgrade on a SN95, I have yet to get it through some twists but due to the light weight and low ride height it *stays on the ground and goes exactly where you point it* still needs some nice summer performance tires but it does fine as is. Also, didn't know they kept using the 8.8 even in the SN197s

@asparceproton1 6 жыл бұрын

I could be wrong, but I think a Watts Link is effectively a rear sway bar. I think you're going to see a big improvement, even with no rear sway bar. Might just be a little understeery before you get another one on there :)

@mooosestang 11 ай бұрын

How's that watts link holding up? or rather how is that fancy diff cover holding up? I'm curious how much weight this watts link adds if any. it doesn't look nearly as heavy since it uses the diff cover. wish it were cheaper though. IRS is so heavy in comparison and can't handle nearly as much power as the 8.8.

I just bought a 2020 gt pp1. I've had 3 stangs in the past and never really cared about cornering. However this car feels planted. Wheel hop sucks so I'm putting in the bmr cradle lockout level 2. I'm going to install lowering springs too. The car should feel like it's on rails. I just hope I don't get a bunch of NVH from the lockout kit
