[QUOTE="demuire, post: 211887, member: 4404"] Watt's linkages are great because of the lack of deflection of the diff as it goes up and down, but it has 2 problems: 1) size and weight 2) it can limit suspension travel if not designed well Panhard rods are good because they are light and simple and generally don't limit the suspension travel much, if at all. They do deflect the diff, but it only becomes an issue if you have a fair bit of suspension travel (or if it's designed badly). On an AE86, if it's going to be set up for trackwork you'll generally not have all that much suspension travel anyway (maybe 3" total? 2" bump, 1" rebound, something like that?), so deflection should be rather minimal. More a problem with leaf spring cars because leaf springs don't like travelling sideways... [/QUOTE]
