Which Panhard Bar BMR or Spohn?
I have Tokico hp shocks, Steeda Ultra Light Springs and 20" Shelby Razors (24mm offset) all in transit. I'm anticipating needing an adjustable panhard bar to center the axle as any variance will be quite visible with the wheels pushed out to the fender well lip with my wheel choice.
I'm looking for opinions on an adjustable panhard bar. After some research, it appears as if I have narrowed it down the BMR or Spohn with bushings on each end based on maintaining ride quality, ease of adjustability, securing the lock nuts after installation, appearance of quality and price.
Good choice or not? Is there anything better out there? Spohn is available in all Chrome Moly, should I concider that?
Any help is appreciated....

I have. But, in one of the write ups, I think, I saw that it was difficult to tighten the lock nut on the passenger side with an open end wrench. I'm thinking, its not good if you can't get at the nut to tighten it well. Plus it costs more then many others.

I am using the BMR adjustable swaybar, it too is a very high quality piece, easy to install and to adjust, has the poly bushings with grease fittings. Mine has been istalled for 2 1/2 years and is greased evey time I have the oil changed. It hasn't moved since being installed.

Not to hijack but I have the BMR and as said above easy install, easy to get to, and easy to grease. Did anyone else notice the stock panhard bar felt like it had lead shot in it? When you shook it it rattled.

I think I read in a post on another site which said the weight savings was about a pound.
I also saw in another post that someone made the comment about some material inside the bar as a vibration absorbtion measure.
