Would replacing GM's panhard rod with an upgrade give noticeable, street only, handling improvements to my '01 Z? Do not intend to get wide tires or lower my vehicle - so a non-adjustable one would be correct, if you experienced people suggest the upgrade? Opinions appreciated.

Gracias for any info. Have already made a number of searches.

I would save that one for last as far as susp. upgrades go. No seat-of-the-pants gain there..

If you can afford the adjustable one I would recommend that. I got a non-adjustable torque arm and now have to buy a new one because I want the ability to adjust pinion angle. Modding is like crack -- once you start, you can't get enough. I think I just quoted a member but can't remember who. :D Like already said, do other mods 1st -- shocks, springs and sway bars will make the most noticable difference.

If youre not going to get an adjustable bar, you should just have a welder box your stock bar. SLP actually sells a boxed panhard which this exact same thing. If youre really wanting to go all out, then after you box it, replace the bushings with poly ones.

Total cost will probably be ~$40.
