Rearend not centered??
I put a set of 10" bullets on my GT with 274/40 tires. This made me realize that the rearend is WAY out of center
. I have a set of GroundForce lowering springs Im fixing to install. Now..can i move it over any without having to buy a adj. panhard bar? Or do i need to get one first and put it all in together...Thanks

You need to buy an adjustable panhard bar to center it.
Steeda sells a nice one that's double adjustable (you can adjust it on the car) for a decent price. I think it's chromoly too.

Yup, i need to buy one also. I lowered mine an inch in the front and 1.5 in the rear and it kicked the rear-end out. I'll probably get the Steeda.

You might also want to look at some other manufacturers. I've had the Steeda unit on my car for 4 years or so, and it's a great piece, but adjustments are a P.I.T.A. because they put the locknuts at the ends of the bar. So on the passenger side the chassis bracket it installs into gets in the way. I ground down a cheap Am-pro wrench to clear it so I could tighten it down, but it's still not all that easy. BMR makes one that has the adjustment mechanism in the center of the bar.

But yeah OP, an adjustable PHB is the only way for you to center the axle. The stock LCA's aren't adjustable at all and neither is the factory PHB. PHB bars are pretty cheap though. Personally, I would recommend that if you plan on doing LCA's, relocation brackets and lowering, that you do it all at once if possible. Otherwise, you'll be adjusting the PHB after each install.

BMR FTW as far as ease of adjust-ability on the car! http://www.bmrsuspension.com/?page=p...&productid=172
