UMI Performance 2080-300-R Watts Link Rear Suspension Lateral Locator with Roll Center Adjustment

The UMI Performance 2080-300-R Watts Link is a race-proven rear suspension lateral locating system engineered for 3rd and 4th Gen F-body solid axle applications. Finished in a bold red powder coat, this premium Watts Link delivers precise axle location, adjustable roll center height, and exceptional strength — all built entirely in-house from USA materials.

Key Features:

• Race-proven design — tested and raced on the UMI Performance '99 Camaro
• Red powder coat finish — also available in black (see UMI P/N 2080-300-B)
• Total system weight: 30 lbs with only 10 lbs of unsprung weight
• 2.5" roll center adjustment range — factory minus 2.5" for dialing in handling
• Compatible with factory and 3" aftermarket axle tubes — factory axle tubes measure 2-3/4"; most aftermarket rear ends use 3" axle tubes
• Laser-cut boxed frame construction — ensures strength, reliability, and installation accuracy
• Axle clamps remain stationary during adjustment — guarantees parallelism throughout the full adjustment range
• Sliding propeller mount with robust locking system — allows easy on-car lateral location adjustment without over-tightening
• Bulletproof Delrin bushings with castle nut and cotter pin arrangement for long-term reliability and smooth propeller movement
• Aluminum sleeves for on-car lateral location adjustment while the bracket holds the opposite end securely
• Industry-leading exhaust clearance — clears most exhaust systems within a 5" clearance diameter, including large single over-the-axle and many dual pipe systems
• Rear end compatibility: clears factory rear end, 12-Bolt, Hawks 8.8, S60, and many others (may not clear rear ends with back bracing)

Important Installation Notes:

• Requires aftermarket rear sway bar clamps such as UMI P/N 2244 — these space the rear sway bar down to provide proper clearance for the Watts Link axle clamps
• A minimum of 1.125" of spacing is required between the axle tubes and the rear sway bar
• Slotted design enables easy parallelism adjustment throughout the full 2.5" travel range

The UMI 2080-300-R Watts Link is the ideal upgrade for optimizing lateral axle location and roll center height on performance and track-driven F-body vehicles. Its combination of precision laser-cut construction, adjustability, and proven race pedigree makes it one of the most capable Watts Link systems available for solid axle rear suspension builds.
