I thought I had read that it had the same panhard bar from the GT500.

What's it matter in the scheme of things?

Do you have a delivery date yet?

Possible. It has the rear axle assembly from the GT500KR.
also is supposed to have the front suspension arm brace from the GT500, which is just a FRPP piece I think.

Since the rear is already off center so much from the factory on a stock GT, I doubt they were worried about what a 1/4" drop would do.

Why do you say it is off-center with the stock suspension set-up?

They were all off center when the '05's first came out. Most people didn't notice it because the back end is jacked up so high it's not as obvious, since the tire isn't close to the wheel well. Once people lowered their cars and the tire was closer to the wheel well, it became very obvious. That's why there used to be tons of discussion about the rear end shiffting "when the car was lowered" (I noticed mine once I put on wider wheels & tires) I checked it before I lowered it, as well as many other people, and we all got the same the thing... off-center from the factory.

Do you have some measurements you could share from your vehicle? Thanks!

It was off center to the LEFT 1/2" from the factory. Lowering the rear of the car moved it 1/4" to the RIGHT, actually improving the factory setting.
