Panhard bar controls body motion around corners; does nothing for wheel hop. Wheel hop is controlled by rear lower control arms.

If I were you I would just spend the extra few dollars and get a PHB & LCAs. The stock PHB is just stupid flexable, I can literely twist the bar with my hands. I picked up a LCA & PHB set from herron performance for something like $175 shipped for everything. The parts look better, are way stiffer, and they already have poly bushings.

Rather than just put a bandaid on a shoddy part why not just save a little longer and replace it, but thats just my .02

That's right!
I bought my rear ILE LCAs from SLP for $80 and boxed them with the same thickness metal plate. I wouldn't even think about replacing the bushings in the rear LCAs or PHB..they require a special half-moon spacer to slip over the torso of bushing to keep the U-shaped LCA(or PHB) from collapsing while pressing the bushing in or out.
