Re: better panhard bar

I'm going to assume this is for a mostly street application in which case I would recommend the Spohn on car adjustable bar with poly bushings on both sides. Herron has it for $125 here

The reason I like that one better for street use is that rod ends just don't last long enough for a street app and can become dangerous if the rod ends are not replaced when needed. So for longevity and safety I'd go with that Spohn bar.

Re: better panhard bar

Really? You might want to check out some of my other favorite sites and brands then.

#1 www.stranoparts.com (the owner of that site is the best guy to talk to if handling is your thing)

#2 www.hotpart.com (They have some interesting 3 piece poly bushings that overcome some problems)

#3 www.unbalancedengineering.com (Some of the most advanced and hardcore suspension components, though many are controvercial)

Those are the big three sites I go to.

Re: better panhard bar

The panhard bar relocatoin kit has been debated back and forth as a good and a bad thing. Basically the only way to use it at it's full drop is to have Race shocks and super stiff springs with a really big rear sway bar. This makes the rear kinda jumpy on bumpy roads but on road courses it's perfect. The decoupling Torque arm is the best option you can go with but it takes a lot of time to get it set perfectly. They also sell race shocks and some other high end race stuff that most sites don't. What is really fun is to ask them and Strano the same question and to see the different answers. Both will have a right way to do things, but I have recieved some very different advice from the two. Great guys at UE and are more than happy to help you out.

Look into UMI they make really good stuff and are usually cheaper than the others too.

Re: better panhard bar

The spohn will hold up fine and doesn't use rod ends that is why I suggested it. Spohn is a well respected company read up on them on some other sites if you are interested. I'm not a huge fan of edlebrock for suspension but don't do anything just because I tell you. Do a lot of research and go with the part you feel fits your goals.
