Got the part numbers for the parts?


I forget the size of the thread, I know it was smaller than the 3/4" used on the Fayes 2.

The QA1 I used is called the Endura Racing Series, XM Chrome moly version. Almost all the suspension guys use them, Spohn, UMI, BMR, Fayes. For some reason MWC chose to use units with 50% the rated strength.

I will check the thread tomorrow when I am working on the car. It requires 2 lh thread, and 2 rh threads.

I used two XMR8 and two XML8 rod ends from QA1.

I find more confidence in my rear going over bumps than the front... the watts link feels that much better.

What shocks do you have? My Koni's were by far the biggest upgrade to the handling I have done. If you have not done them yet, think about it. I like my Watts too, but if I could only have one.

I'm running bilstein, I may lower in future and go with Koni's but I'm spent on my mod budget for the year tbh. I just went for tires instead of rear due to lack of housings.

Installed the QA1 rod ends. Night and day difference. Same roads and 75% of the noise eliminated. Seems those original pieces on the MWC set are just cheap...
