Question BMR panhard rod relocation kit?

Well, I just got some lca's and an adjustable panhard rod from spohn. Very happy with them by the way. Had the parts the next day!!. Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone had the ph rod relocation kit. If so, did it make a difference? Seems kinda expensive for 219.00. Do any other companies have the whole ph rod relocation kit cheaper, or should I just go with the lca relocation brackets instead? Thanx for any info.

Re: BMR panhard rod relocation kit?

If your goal is to lower the panhard bar for improved handling you will want to look here: http://www.unbalancedengineering.com/Camaro/
BMR's kit is just for moving the upper phb brace out of the way to allow for dual exhaust.
Lowering the phb lowers the rear roll center and improves cornering grip. You will want a stiffer rear swaybar (the 3rd gen 24 mm bar works well) and stiffer than stock rear springs to compliment a lower roll center.

The common traction "fix" for lower cars is the LCA relocation brackets; as stated above, relocating PHB mounting points pertains to making room for true dual exhaust.

Re: BMR panhard rod relocation kit?

Cool. So that answers my question and if anything, I'll get the lca relocation bracket. Thanx guys. Oh, one more quick question. I am gonna be putting in the panhard bar with rod ends. What size seals -it do I want, in order to keep the bearings clean? Or how do I measure it? I have the double adjustable bar with qa-1 rod ends from spohn. http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...2&autoview=sku

Which LCA relocation kit is most recommended? There's a few out there that can't all be made the same.

The main difference is whether they are bolt ins or weld ins.

They all function, some are finished nicer than others. Brands include BMR, Spohn, Glowbal West.

Re: BMR panhard rod relocation kit?

Anyone know what size seals-it I need for my spohn qa-1 rod ends? I measured it and it seems the outside is 1 1/8 and the inside is 1 inch. Does that sound right?
