Re: upper panhard bar fabs

Thought about it but didn't get much past that. It's not exactly a part that twists or moves. So unless what is there is going to stretch/compress from lateral movement of the panhard mount during a hard turn, I don't see a point.

Re: upper panhard bar fabs

what you want is a relocation kit for the panhard bar. UMI performance sells it. They have awesome stuff for these cars.

Re: upper panhard bar fabs

I am currently running the founders version on my car. Bought it thinking I would need it to clear 4" Mufflex exhaust, but it would have squeaked by without it. Have heard of people just eliminating it all together but I figured if GM thought we needed it then.....

Re: upper panhard bar fabs

I've actually never heard of Founders, do they also make everything Spohn, UMI, and BMR make? If they're really that much cheaper, I may very well go with them.

They don't make everything that the other companies make, but they have a pretty decent selection.

I installed their control arms and panhard bar a few days after Christmas, quality stuff.

Re: upper panhard bar fabs

Founders seems to have quality products for less money than most. I just received my adjustable lca's and panhard bar. Really quality pieces.
