What's the best adj. panhard bar??

I'm getting ready to lower my 05 V6 with Eibach Sportlines and I was wondering which adj. panhard bar I should get. I was looking at Stangsuspension.com and they have their own adj. bar that's $105 and a BMR adj. bar for $135. Does anyone know if their piece is quality or if I should look at another one? I don't want the most expensive one or anything, but I don't want to go cheap on one and have it be crap. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I don't have either but BMR and Steeda are pretty much always safe bets for quality parts.

I personally do not like the way the BMR is designed with where they put the adjustment point. It is a week spot and flex under load. Look into the CHE. Not saying anything bad about the BMR i just did not like the design.

I picked up the J&M used from ebay, had my cousins shop powder coat it black. Flawless.

You could always go with Maximum Motorsports. BMR makes good stuff as well.

Richard - Don't go looking at any aircraft flight control rods if the BMR bothers you...

Can't comment on any others, but I likes my BMR. Quality product!

I am sure the BMR is a good bar after all they have been doing it for a while. I just preferred the design of the CHE.

By the way my first panhard bar was a BMR but it was the race version and I could not deal with all the NVH it gave so I got rid of it and got the CHE.

Yeah those spherical bearings transfer lots of NVH.

Thanks for the input everyone...anybody know if the Edelbrock panhard bar being sold by Jegs is a quality piece? I know Edelbrock makes good stuff, and it's pretty inexpensive.

I have the BMR one on my car for a year and a half now. It has not backed off or given me any problems. I had a few issues with the lower control arms from BMR, but that company has one of the best customer relations, they dealt with that problem immediately and effectively beyond my satisfaction.

Food for thought.
