Is it worth it to get a panhard rod if you already have LCAs. They guy that I bought my LCAs from is about to start another GP with 15% off.

which LCAs did you get?
i think the panhard bar is supposed to help in cornering and locating the rear end. meaning with a panhard bar you'll have a more put rear end in the corners so you'll have a much better idea of whats going on back there and get much closer to the limits with more comfort/confidance.
so if you're looking for this, it's the right thing to get.
correct me if i'm wrong anyone..Silver \'98 Camaro M5<br />Current MODs:<br />SLP strut tower brace; SLP 1LE swaybars front/back; Powerslot rotors; Hawk pads; Eibach springs; Bilstein SLP shock kit; SLP trans mount; Zexel limited-slip differential; LS1 drive shaft.<br />Possible future MODs:<br />BMR Lower Control Arms; BMR Pandhard Rod. -

PHR is used to keep the wheels planted to the ground. As of cornering I guess you could say that. They are for launching. If you want to corner get swaybars.

firstly, of course i want to corner, who doesn't? secondly, tell me why its called a panhard rod and not a planthard rod or something? its definetly for stabelizing the axel in side to side motion as you would have in hard cornering where the axel would "pan" to the side.
makes sense to me...Silver \'98 Camaro M5<br />Current MODs:<br />SLP strut tower brace; SLP 1LE swaybars front/back; Powerslot rotors; Hawk pads; Eibach springs; Bilstein SLP shock kit; SLP trans mount; Zexel limited-slip differential; LS1 drive shaft.<br />Possible future MODs:<br />BMR Lower Control Arms; BMR Pandhard Rod.Comment

umm, i think it helps both launch and cornering, but i dunno if it's worth it unless ur ulosing traction in either area. w/ my 1LE rear swaybar, 255-50 kumho's, and LSD i get a really good launch w/ the tires at standard psi and barely and slip when I deflate them for drag racing. cornering still slides abit if I get on the gas, but not nearly as much as it used 2.2001 Arctic White Firebird<br />More mods than I\'m allowed to list!Comment

i installed mine the same time i installed my lcas. and it made a world of difference. i dont know if it was one over the other or the fact i had both, but together they fixed my traction problem and helped drop my ETs .3.6s.......under the hood or under the belt, they just dont cut it.Comment
