Panhard rod in a drag car suspension

I am installing aftermarket control arms, but does anybody think the adj aftermarket panhard bar is worth anything in a drag race situation. Thanks Prorac1

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh In my opinion no. Because it made for keeping the axle centered under the car under a hard turn. It might help side to side squirm off the line but I dont think it need.

Thats kinda what i was figuring. I was thinking the same thing about the squirm, because ive felt it a little bit off the line, but wasnt sure if it was something that needed to be addressed on a non lowered car. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH thanks.............Prorac1, lol.

i have an adjustable panhard on my 97 TA which is basically a straight line car. cant say it helped with traction,but it does help when you are stuffing big tires under it.

How does it help with the big tires, and big is relative. What are we calling big. 26 x 10.5 or 29 x 12.5? Thank you for the replys Prorac1

An adjustable panhard rod helps with big tires by centering the diff to make sure the tires can fit properly under the car. If you don't have problems now I don't think it'll help you any.
