Re: PanHard Rod

An aftermarket panhard rod will increase the lateral stability of your rearend. Adjustable rods are beneficial because they allow for centering and alignment of the rearend after lowering or clearancing bigger tires.

Re: PanHard Rod

So basically since my car is not lowerd, and I do not have a huge tire difference I will be okay with a normal PHR? Basically, I do not have any suspension mods and deciding what to do after SFC. PHR are relativly cheap and seems like it could help the most. I've read a few things showing how to install the PHR...is it pretty easy? Thanks for any responses.

Re: PanHard Rod

My next mod after SFCs would be a stiffer front swaybar.

Yes, a new non-adjustable panhard rod is a good choice, along with lower control arms, subframe connectors, and maybe even freshen up the stock rear swaybar with new poly bushings and endlinks.

Re: PanHard Rod

if I were to run 17x11 rims on the rear without any clearancing to the car, would I need adjustable or non?
