What is the intended purpose of the car?
Personally, I'm using composite mono's. Many road racers can't say enough about them. However, I'm not sure if Nova's have the same rear leaf geometry as Camaros. If they do, it's pretty tough to top a well thought out leaf setup.
But, any link style suspension will offer adjustability that would otherwise be difficult to obtain with leafs.
As far as the watts goes, there's several schools of thought on that one:
1. Hyperco recommends a lateral locator with their composite springs, while other manufacturers say it's not needed. Personal experience of most people seems to all say it isn't needed either.
2. Defining a roll center may or not be necessary...only you can determine that for your vehicle.
I'm going to try it without a panhard/watts first, and go from there. Good luck!
