Tubular panhard bar...if you dont have one...you should get one...
its a complete difference from my crap *** stamped steel stock peice that i had. The rear end feels way way more stiff and like its part of the car. Before I had a problem where it felt like the rear end wasnt part of the car. Like I would turn and then it would follow after. But now the car turns as if a solid peice. I love this damn part. ALso my rear end is centered now. That looks alot nicer and helps with suspension also. I put the Spohn Chromoly tubular adjustible one with sephirical rod ends. The road noise is a bit louder...but its well worth it. (though considering my car has no carpet, rear seat, etc. The road noise may not be noticable to you others)
I really put this part to the test tonight. Drifting a large number of turns on our local mountain with more control. ALso then after that I had to grip every turn all the way back as I had to turn around and run away from the cops
haha...those cops didnt catch me haha
*two thumbs up to this part*

honestly I've thought about the spohn bar, but I think if I do anything, I'll try boxing my stock one first.

yo shawn you wanna buy my rear control arms? their just the stock ones but they have energy suspension bushings in them. Let me know.
yeah good rear suspension uprgrades are the rear control arms and the panhard car... i had them in my 1988 formula 350 before the rear end was hit and wrecked alot of that stuff.
they helped my wheel hop alot and i could corner harder in turns alittle more than stock form..

You wont notice a difference unless you push corners hard all the time and have a feel for the car before and after the mod. For daily driving you probably wont notice a difference.

i agree,
not neccesarily pushing corners everyday. even i like too, but having a feel for the way the car handles and knowing it limits before the mod.
then again testing it's limits after the mod. Last edited by mystikkal_69; Oct 8, 2002 at 04:52 PM.

Every time I make a left turn from a stop sign, I come to a stop, look both ways, turn and then accelerate at about 1/4 throttle making sure to stay within the posted speed limit.
Every time I take turn #1 (left) at the tracks, I come in at about 55 mph, feint right to upset my traction, throw it left, feel the car swing and the azz follow, then countersteer, sliding about 50 mph, using almost full throttle to keep me sliding and come out of the turn at about 45 mph (full throttle now) then feel the rear end grip. Different from a grip racer but still pushing the car past its limits of traction.
Two different places. Two different mindsets. Two different styles of driving.

I dono man...I just took the car out again tonight for some drift action. And the car is drifting like a dream. The rear end doesnt roll over or twist like it used to. The whole car feels like one peice sliding around the turn. Back then when I drifted it was like controling a semi or something. Like controling two different parts of a car. Now its like controling one. Damn I love this part. Much thanks Spohn! You'll see my order for LCAs soon
