In all honestly, I am leaning towards not doing it all. I don't have an issue with how my car handles right now. If I did do it, I like the diff mounted style. It seems like a simpler set up and that more manufacturers seem to use this style. I like the whiteline mostly because of the greaseless bushings. I feel this is a good point for a daily driver.

Thanks Mr. V
If you do decide to add a Watts link, let us know what you think about it.
When I get into making my suspension changes, I think I'm going to start with a Fays2 Watts link, and then go from there.

I thought I would add a review of my Whiteline sways now that I've had everything ironed out. I had some initial noise after the install. I was worried this was the reality of these new sways. I had a clunking noise and some creaking when going over any kind of slope diagonally. My car is lowered, I do this quite a bit. My shop figured out it was my uca. They tightened it and the noises are gone.
Now to the ride. The steering felt heavier after changing the sways. Yes, I know this would happen from my previous cars and modding them but I figured some folks reading this may not know. I switched my steering from sport to standard and it feels about the same as the stock bars on sport. Maybe a little bit lighter. The handling feels amazing. It feels more planted. There is less gitter when I enter the turn or exit. I took it to a mountain road and it was very impressive.
As far as noise, there is more road noise but that seems to be all. The back seems a little stiffer over bumps but it isn't anything that is uncomfortable. Id say the negative impact is minimal.
I love how it looks as well. The gold color of the linkage kind of goes with the yellow of my Koni shocks. It also looks tidier and tucked away. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I'll do a watts but if I do, I'll be doing the whiteline.
