My wife surprised me with a Ford Racing Handling pack for Christmas. I usually find out what she is getting me but this year it was a surprise. I installed it yesterday.
This kit lowered the car and really improved the handling. Tuesday it will go in for an alignment.
Is the geometry of the panhard brace wrong and should be replaced?

I know the car has to be aligned but the front tires appears way out. Can the dampening struts be adjust that much or will adjustable strut plates be necessary?

 

i suggest an adjustable panhard bar from BMR and the camber bolts from them also or steeda camber plates, they will fix any problems you have with alignment of the rear axle and the camber of the wheels

 

^^^ This is good advice.

Sometimes the rear end can be up to 3/8's off center and the adjustable pan hard bar can correct this problem. That can cause some tire rub especially if your running a 10" wide rim with some fatties on back.

 

I suggest either an adjustable panhard or a Watts link. Probably depends on how you will be driving the car as to which is a better choice.

As far as the front end goes, mine required only a minor adjustment at alignment shop to bring it in spec.

I would also suggest not getting an alignment until all suspension mods and done. (panhard or Watts link) FAYS2 Suspension Watts Link
