Hi Carl,
The Watts linkage is a great setup, but the cost for the linkage and the hubs that you need to run it is way more than I could justify.
I used a radius rod setup that attaches to the rear hub pivot and then runs to the rear frame cross member at a point in line with the inner pivotpoint of the lower control arm. My E-M has a much larger rear frame member than your Contemporary, so I was able to weld directly to the frame. For the Contemporary I've seen a bolt on piece that they use for the rear mount. I can email you pictures of my car, and the Contmporary setup if you would like. (I'm not smart enough to get them to post here). The total cost for the Radius rod setup was about $60, not including the hub brackets which I built on my lathe.
If I were you, I would use all that money that I saved on the Watts linkage and upgrade all 4 brakes to Wilwood.
Good luck!
