Yes if your goal is performance.......those type of parts are what gets your power to the ground and get the car to move...instead of wheel hoopping and spiining tires.

I have both those parts on my car... I definitely noticed a difference after the lower control arms, it seems the rear end wants to plant the rear tires more now on a launch, and from searching I think you'll find the lakewoods are priced well and they get the job done a good upgrade from stock.

The edelbrock adj. panhard rod is a nice piece, allows you to re-center the rear easily if your car is lowered and/or or has wider tires. Just be careful when installing it, the panhard rod bolts are usually rusted solid and I broke one of mine while removing them and had to order a set of 5 bolts from a local dealer (they would not sell just one ) Worst case just contact me and I'll send you one if you do break a bolt LOL
