I'm not sure what brand that is on mine, but it does rub a little. I doesn't look like it rubs all the time, but does rub. Maybe with a hard bump?

My car is at the dealership still for the tranny TSB. When I get it back, I'll take some pics with all the info, brand, price, etc.

Do you think it poses a potential problem?

My panhard bar has actually been ground down a bit. I didn't install the girdle. It was done when my carrier was replaced. I'll take a pic for all to see!

[attachmentid=27735]Here's a pic of the girdle I have. It still rubs a little, but only at launch.

BMR fabrication is about 2 weeks away from having a panhard bar relocation bracket. It will move the driver's side about 2" out so that you could install any girdle you want.

I was in Tampa this week, so I stopped by to check out their shop. Nice facility! They have quite a bit on the burners. They have a carbon fiber single driveshaft and an aluminum single driveshaft in the works. I saw the carbon fiber one on Brett's wifes (Owner) car. He's going to have dyno numbers in a few days. It looks sweet. They are not too far away from a k-member. It will just drop a lot of weight off the frontend. Driveshaft loops are in testing. They looked nice! There was a car there that had all of their product on it. It also had a Procharger. It sounded sweet. This was the first S/C I've heard on an 05. They just finished installing a clutch and aluminum flywheel. They have some Bogart's coming next week as well. That car is going to cook!
Overall, BMR has a nice facility, really nice people and some great products. I bought a adj. panhard bar and will be waiting on the relocation bracket for it to install. I talked quite a bit with Mike Zamboni. He owns the grey 05. He's just another guy with a lot of time into the 05. I'm still not really sure if he works for BMR or with BMR. It was nice to be able to exchange a lot of info about our cars. I love this game!

Just ran across this. GMS has alwasy offered a Pan ahrd rod reloction bracket. It moves the rod back 2.75 inches with no side effects. We sell them everyday for $45.00

WOW the last post before GMS's was July 21, 2005 That's the way to bring a dead post back to life.

LPW and FRPP both make a low profile girdle for this application. I have an LPW one (new) for $155.00 shipped.
