Panhard/track bar upgrade - noticable diff ?

Has anyone noticed much of a diff in handling when putting on an after market panhard/track bar? I've heard this will help get rid of the twitchy feeling at the limit that F bodies are known for.

already got Spohn SFC's and BMR strut tower brace. Will be adding a Spohn wonder bar and am thinking seriously about the Spohn panhard.

The Spohn Pandhard bar would be a improvement over the stamped U-shaped one. Increased handling performace, maybe.

Spohn's adjustable panhard bar was the first upgrade I put on my car. Wasn't a night and day difference but did signifcantly tighten up the rear end. Remember yer not only getting a tubular bar which is more solid but you're also installed poly bushings which help too(which come with most aftermarket bars).

Most people say to get SFC's first- I say the panhard rod is the most important and noticable upgrade that can be done first. If the *** end of the car is better felt under you, then you can push a car harder.

boxing it with some new bushing should help, some do it to the stock lca's also.
