  • Panhard bar

    I am going to get a panhard bar some time soon...i don't think that i am going to lower my car as of now, but i might in the future, however i am never going to use the car with drags or anything like that, it is just my daily. So anyways, i was looking at lmperformance.com and i saw lots of options. So should i get an adjustable? Cause i don't THINK that i need one, don't people lower their cars on the stock one? and isn't that non-adjustable? Should i just get a regular. And if i get a regular should i just go with the $40 1LE or is it worth the extra money to pop for something like the BMR or Spohn.

    When the car is lowered the whole rear axle will shift slightly to the left.

    If you check your rear even at stock height it probably isn't quite centered either. Mine sits somewhat to the left anyway.

    Problems can arise if you have very wide tires in the rear or are close to the inside of the wheel well where rubbing could occur.

    If you still have stock rims & tires and have no plans to lower it might as well just use the 1LE bar. Just curious, but why replace it at all?

        I am setting the car up just so that it is more fun and competitive on a daily driving scenerio. I don't drag at all, just a couple times a year with buddies, nothing big though.

          If you do lower you car I'd definatley recommend getting an adjustable panhard rod, we lowered my friends z-28 last weekend and drove it for a week and after he got his new adjustable panhard rod in, it made a big difference.

              BMR or Umiperformance. You don't need an adj. rod unless you plan on running larger tires or drag radials. Hope this helps.

                Another option would be to swap out the stock rubber bushings. I have polygraphites from PST, total cost $20.

                  If you're going to spend the money, you should look at replacing the Lower Control Arms instead. {shameless plug for a sponsor} If you hold out for a couple of weeks Thunder Racing always seems to have some kind of sale happening.

                      I thought that LCAs are just for wheel hop and that the panhard will stiffen the chassis, i am looking more for handeling, i don't drag so i figured that LCAs are usless.

                        1LE. For the cost you can't go wrong.
