how hardcore are you looking for?

i am very impressed with Unbalanaced Engineerings parts, they also sell a PHR Relocation bracket that drops the rear roll height, so it shouuld be a much closer match to the fronts.

Agree, I enjoy my UBE, fast shipping time. However, the top mount is a pita to tighten.

I also have Unbalanced Engineering LCA's and PHR in my '94 road race car. If you are looing for double adjustable pieces with high quality rods ends, these would be a great choice.

Al though I have never used both I do have spohn stuff and my buddy uses BMR. I have never seen a piece from unballanced eng so I cannot comment on them. Both the Spohn and BMR pieces are made very well and typically are made out of thircker tube wall than some of the others out there. Spohn is a site sponcer so I usaully go with his stuff. I have read that the new BMR panhard rod can be adjusted by just twisting on the whole unit without having to mess around with the nuts on the side. I think it runs for a bit more than their regular adjustable one for this reason.

I have the new style brm phr with the adjuster in the middle. Its pretty slick how you adjust it, there are two nuts that butt (I said nuts and butt in the same sentence) up against the bar. All you have to do is loosen them and then put a wrench in the middle and turn it. The only dislike is that its poly/poly which I havnt heard many good things about, but thus far for me it's fine. I'll tell you how much I really like it when I start autocrossing this year.
