Finally finished the Watts link install.
Ended up taking way longer than I thought it would, but it was mostly my fault. I didn't read the directions all the way through when I started, so several times I went ahead and tightened stuff down when I shouldn't have. To be fair to me though, I didn't realize that I would have to measure some stuff after it told me to attach it. I wanted to make sure I got the geometry right, so I kept taking things off and on, but I think I have it. This is the only picture I took because I was tired and couldn't really get a good angle since I had the garage closed since it was cold. Took it out for a run around the block, and it definitely feels more planted already. I am very excited to see how it performs this weekend at MSR Cresson. Now tomorrow I am just going to get my brakes bled (forgot to order myself the power bleeder) and I am ready for the weekend!! Well, except for swapping to track pads but I've done that enough so I'm not worried.

Yay for getting rid of that floating feeling of the body over the rear axle!

Yea it feels great. Driving it to the shop I got a little bit of step-out on a bigger bump, but it is definitely not shaking the steering wheel as much as it used to when going over expansion joints and other mid-corner bumps. Can't wait to see what it does on the track this weekend.

In the interest of education, what is this and what does it do?

You'll be stoked that the whole car will stay planted over the axle and you pretty much eliminated the threat of snap oversteer because the body wanted to go all willy nilly over the axle. Money well spent I say. And that silly rear axle issue is the only thing I didn't like about the 06 and down mustangs. Have fun on the track and keep it shiny side up.
