| S197 Watts Link Griggs Racing S197_Watts_Link - S197 Watts LinkQuick Facts Must be used with TA Cover modified for Watts link (part number TA 8.8 MOD). Griggs Racing may be able to modify your aftermarket TA style cover to work. Please contact us if you have any questions. Griggs Racing Watts Link Based on the system found in the GR40 World Challenge system, The Griggs watts link is CNC machined from aircraft aluminum and Laser cut steel. It is track proven and offers many benefits in handling, response and tire fitment not obtainable through the use of a Panhard bar. The chassis bracket is easy to locate on the subframes for quick installation. The Watts Link functions similarly to a Panhard bar, but it has added benefits. The primary benefit is speed of chassis set in quick left-right-left or slalom use. Panhard Bars inherently have a vertical jacking load that makes the car not turn left and right with equal balance, and the longer the bar the slower the set time becomes. Set time is the time the car takes from initial turn in to “set” where transition is achieved and power can be applied. What this means is with all other things the same, a Watts link equipped vehicle will decrease lap times considerably compared to a vehicle equipped with a Panhard on any track with a series of “esses” or especially in autocross. Further, the Drivers confidence is greatly improved in tighter corners or any place where more abrupt driver inputs are required to negotiate a corner of hazard. All GR40 Watts links provide adjustable rear roll centers allowing for ideal chassis tuning for varying track and tire conditions, this precludes addition of rear anti-roll bar in most cases. Simply raise the linkage to loosen the car on high grip conditions and lower it for loose conditions, such as hard tires, or rain. The single shear design on the Watts link bell crank pivot itself is a designed failure point should hard lateral contact be made against the rear wheels. The bell crank will twist and/or fail before destroying more expensive parts of the chassis system, reducing repair costs in such an event. These are the same parts used by many GR40 Mustang drivers winning championship events in many series as well as in “Old Blue” and by Ernesto Roco, 2006 American Iron Extreme Champion. There are small modifications to make up for changes in the S197 geometry. Like most of the products bearing the Griggs Racing name they are proven under brutal race conditions across the world to be the absolute best performance value. | (877) 498-1118 M-F 9am-6pm PST
