The watts linkage is some thing to disguise a flaw in the DD set up, you must know that a DD is a further developt for heavy saloons just arround the sec. war. When people want more confort and more speed out of the heavy axle arrangement those heavey saloons had. It is a mix between a live axle and indep. suspension.
I still believe that a live axle with 5 link set-up is the best for a Seven, only you need to find an axle that is light and strong enough to cope with the power, a all ali housing with ford banjo internals would be perfect, you would be able to run it on soft springs ( for comfort ) and still have plenty of traction.
