The Steeda which I have doesn't have any issues with my Borla Catback and it's adjustable so once I go to lower the car I can readjust my roll center. It's a pretty penny for the Steeda but I think it looks mean as hell from behind and the difference in handling over the stock Pan Hard bar is night and day difference so I highly recommend it!

Lets see a pic from behind of how the Seeda kit looks!!

Well I have researched the subject a little and it seems that the Fays2 is the first one developed for the S197 and has been raced, autocrosed and street tested for the last 5 years. It also is cheaper by 600.00 and has the greatest range of adjustaibility of any of the watts links on the market. The Fays 2 also uses a boxed frame construction which follows the uni body configuration, this technique provides unmatched rigidity and insures the frame remains tight and gives additional rigidity to the under body. No other watts Link has this feature.

Since all the others are based on the origional Fays 2 and I do not think a couple of pounds is worth 400-600 hundred dollars I am going with the Fays2 watts Link. However the others are all good I just think the Fays 2 is the best.

Whatd ya read that right off their website? lmfao.

Strengthens the frame and no other does this - Well ts exactly the same as the steeda design so I guess its not the only one that does that. And thats all propaganda anyway. The frame isnt weak to begin with.

More adjustability - No, its basically again exactly the same as the steeda.

Only one thats been "raced" - So steeda doesnt have a race team? Check your facts.

I believe the fays doesnt clear a rear end girdle and that was a big reason for me to rule it out.

Steeda has proven to offer great support. They are active on the forums and have been very responsive to our members calls.

Now that we have established that fays has been lying to you about why their product is superior, I certainly wouldnt buy it.

Support and established quality > price if you want a part that actually makes you faster and doesnt just make for ooos and aaahs in a parking lot.

Lifted Bronco, I did get off the web site however I also talked to Jim Fays as well and the people over at SHELBY and since they are the experts I sorta think I will go along with theem for my ride as SHELBY uses the Fays2 as well and since mine is a SHELBY I feel that it is the best choice for me. Like I said they are all good but the all copied off the Fays 2 PJ

Well I hate to disappoint ya, But the Fays watts 2 is the one that SHELBY uses and it clears everything with out any problem. But guess SHELBY does not know what they are doing, but I will take a chance on the old man any way. LOL

after re reading what I wrote, its definitley more negative than i meant to be. Theyre both good. But i do think it was that the fays wont work wiht a rear end girdle that pushes me towards the steeda. otherwise they seem very similar. By now the fays was probably modified to work with the girdle anyway. I did my research when you posted this and really...theyre VERY similar i suppose. I do have a problem with some of the statements fays makes, as though their product is god and all the others suck....point being any manufacturer is gonna try to sell you their product, and it shouldnt be regarded as the final word on the subject.

To address the Shelby issue, with all due respect, no, Shelby means nothing to me. Theyre just another company that will sell to the lowest bidder.

I hope i didnt ruffle your feathers on this one. i didnt mean to make it personal.

No it does not bother me, I think your statement SHELBY is just another car company pretty much says it all! lets just leave it at that.
