Watts Link or Control Arms???

[DJCV]

I'm running a CV Sport with factory Watts Link and control arms. I've added a Marauder (21mm) rear sway bar to quicken turn-in a bit, and I've also added KYB Gas-A-Just shocks all around.

I like these modest mods; I've got a pleasant ride with decent turn-in and somewhat more athletic handling & control. But I'm after a bit more---without adding harshness. (It's an all-purpose daily driver and sometime family car.)

Does dumping the factory watts link in favor of the METCO unit make sense, or will I even feel/notice the difference (versus stock)?

Or will I get more bang-for-the-buck if I dump the puny factory control arms for aftermarket control arms, such as METCO?

I can't afford to do both anytime soon. Which would you select, and why?

buy attco sway bars and get a set of control arms. no difference in ride quality and WAY better handleing

Get the control arms from chris at ADTR. He has a discount thread on CVN under the vendors section. You wont get control arms this cheap brand new once he's done

+1 for Control Arms and Rear Sway Bar. IMHO, you won't notice the Watts Linkage diff.

I just did my metco control arms a couple weeks ago and wow! Its like riding on rails now.

Control arms are a must! I noticed a big difference between the factory swap bars and the Addco which I replaced front and rear at the same time.

Go with Metco control arms, there is no reel need for the watts link unless you have the money to spend.
