What do you think for a street car that really doesn't see any track time. Good investment for handling or overkill for a street car? Also how is the nosie if any. I don't need anymore NVH

Completely 100% overkill for your application!

Stop spending your money, and save up for that blower!!!

I found a thread about the Saleen Watts link. Interesting reading and yes it is probably is overkill.

The Saleens are getting recalled too, so don't go buying a used one for an "unbeatable" price. You may just end up shafted.

If anything Rich, save up for a blower, or just get a Zex n2o kit and call it a day!

Or, you can buy my car if you want the complete package!

I have the Fays2 Watts link on my street only GT. If you want improved handling, a rock solid feel in turns and no lateral axle travel, then it is worth the expense.

If you are happy with the stock suspension and how it feels, then it is a waste of money. It all depends on your perspective.

How much did NVH increase with the Fays2?

I hope you didn't take offense. I know Rich personally, so I think I have a good idea of what his driving habits are. Thus, I think it's overkill for his application.

But, I'd also like to know the rest of your suspension mods...

What is NVH?

I've been reading about suspension setups.
Sorry, newbie here.

Sorry, haven't been here for a while.

Other mods to my suspension? Not much, FRPP handling package minus the strut brace. Stock wheels and tires (18").

It handles very nicely although ride quality is somewhat diminished, but is still quite comfortable.

I wonder how much of the handling is due to your FRPP handling package, and how much is the Watts link setup?
