Adjustable panhard bar?

What exactly does this piece do? Does it offer the same qualities as SFC's? Somebody please enlighten me

It will help improve handling as it is stronger than the stock phr. An adjustable phr is used to recenter the rear after a car is lowered (it usually moves about an inch to the left - at least on 4th gens). Some people say that they can't really tell. I could tell right away. Car feels much more solid in the turns.

My car felt like it was tracking badly when I checked it on a parking lot. Turns out that the panhard rod was bent. Changed it and had to have someone check it to make sure it was where it should be because I had the adjustable one and didn't know how much to extend it to.

What do you mean by tracking?

i.e. not driving straight.

Anyway... I just installed my adjustable PHR a couple weeks ago along with LCAs and LCA brackets. My IROC is lowered, but much to my surprise, my axle was only 1/8" off center from side to side, so I had very little adjustment to do.
