Explain This

How would a adjustable panhard rod help a Z. I have the BMR stb, and if an adjustable panhard rod was added would one feel an improvement? I am just curious on all this suspension stuff and how it works.

Also, I have one. Long story short, Jegs messed up the delivery.. Would not refund the extra charges back to the card "store credit" only... Well the credit equaled a lake wood adjustable panhard rod one would not want the credit sitting around would they

Will it corner better? Straight line better? What does it do and why adjustable over fixed? Hint's or tips on the install would be cool.

Adjustable is to re center your car when it's been lowered. I know there are other reasons, but I'm not sure what beneficial reasons those are off the top of my head.

What FastWhite said. Adjustabilty in length allows recentering.

In the racing world the height of the Panhard rod mounting points is adjustable which changes the rear roll center height.

If you watch Cup racing, and the crew guy adjusts the "trackbar" or Panhard rod during a pit stop, he's moving the frame mounted pivot up or down. The actual roll center height change is 1/2 of the amount the frame pivot is changed because the axle pivot remains the same. Frame mount is on the right on oval tracks to keep the trackbar in tension in the turns.
