I am planning on upgrading my suspension to provide the best possible road track setup while maintain daily drivability. I don't know anything about the panhard rod. Would an upgraded panhard rod help in cornering or is it more suited for drag racing? Thanks for the input.

IMO i think it would help overall suspension. why would they make one for just a specific cause, not state what its for i.e drag or road track, and charge u like an arm for it??

It's more important for road racing.

The function of the Panhard Bar is to keep the axle from moving side to side while sill allowing up and down suspension movement.

Have you considered adding lower control arms? They stop wheel hop for drag.

Hey Guys. On the subject of Panhards I know there are adjustable panhards and the Steeda panhard which is a non-adjustable. My question is if you have the adjustable, when and how do you adjust? While on the jack stands? After the drop and on the ground? Anybody installed a panhard before?

Also, I'm having a REALLY hard time on making the decision about lowering. I have the Eibach Pro-Kit in the garage but I'd hate F something up...I need some friendly persuasion here...I know I need to quit being a wussy and just go for it but after reading that post that ADRENALINE put up on his drop I wussed out

I'm also thinking about moving the 20's I have on the torch red think anyone would be interested? Nothing wrong with them I just saw something different...Whatcha all think, keep or go?? I paid right around $2K for the package...

I am going to use the Eibach Pro-Kit as soon as I get my car and not change anything else unless I have to.

The lower control arms are more for drag racing and hard launching.
The panhard rod is for centering the rear axle, good road racing application.
You might need a camber kit if your car doesn't make specs after the springs are installed.

I don't begin to think that I know very much about suspension but lowering your car was talked about at length in another thread.

Gotta lower it. It looks too good not to~
