Now I gotta buy a panhard bar before I install my springs which ones should I look at?

The stock one's not adjustable so there's where you'd have a problem. I know Steeda's a popular choice. CJPonyParts just had 20% off of it, but the sale ended yesterday. There's some other cheaper ones, but I've read about some nvh on those. I would think any decent repair shop can handle the install otherwise I don't think it's too hard to do yourself.

Here's my choice. A little pricey but you get what you pay for.

Alright guys... thank you for the input. I did research, and yes, I DO need an adjustable panhard bar. It sounds like a fairly easy install I can do on my own... ramps/jacks, breaker bar, sockets, etc. So now the question is... WHICH ONE?
Steeda? BMR? MM? J&M? I am definitely not getting FRPP... 265 bucks??? I'd rather have a better built/cheaper Steeda or BMR. Which ones do you guys have or recommend??? I will probably do this install AFTER my springs.

I have the k springs with bilstiens and no adjustable panhard and my car rides and corners like a dream. Yea its a little stiffer but that's about the only negative. Installed 8 months ago and no problems. The pros far outweigh the cons. All u get is a stiffer ride but not by much...but now I can corner with suck ease at higher speeds with more confidence.

alright guys...I went ahead and ordered the BMR adj panhard bar with poly bushings. Found a great deal online. Jamie, thanks for the suggestion. I researched it, and found hardly any negative comments. I think the ones I read that were negative were for the older versions that had spherical bushings (much increased nvh). So I get the part friday and will install it then... post springs

Question I notice now when I start off quick and quickly hit second the car likes to aim for the left slightly. Issue with the axle not being centered? I assume its coincidence but I've noticed this after having the new tires and wheels on.

UPDATE: My FRPP K springs just arrived!!! I immediately got a hold of my shop, and they had an opening. Springs are getting installed as we speak. My BMR panhard bar is not going to be here till Monday. Question is, my guy said to wait to have it aligned till my panhard bar is installed. What you guys think??? I would think we could still get it all 4 wheels aligned today, regardless of the rear axle being off-center.... right? Or should I just wait?
