i'm about to purchase a 1LE panard bar from SLP. i want to know if it is boxed, tubular, or if its like the stock panard bar open on the bottom.

 

Same thing as what you have.

Depending on the exact year/car it came out of, it may or may not have higher durometer rubber bushings.

Rebushing and boxing your stocker will be more cost effective.

just buy an aftermarket one from any of the gazillion companies that make one.

 

Sounds like, instead of deciding up front to buy the buzzword "1LE" stuff and then find out later what it actually is, you'd be better off to research what will actually make an improvement to your car.

You can get about 3 times more noticeable of an effect by just boxing in your existing one with some sheet metal like what it's made out of; for a tiny fraction of the price. Assuming of course that it's still straight and the bushings are still there.

About the cheapest good one is probably the Lakewood one. But there are lots of others, any of which are better than any GM one, and probably cost the same or less than anything from SLP. Spohn, BMR, Hotchkiss, Global West, etc. etc. etc.

 

good thing i didnt order it, i went ahead and bought the adjustable one from spohn, figured spending the extra cash would be well worth the quality in the product. i done my homework on it, i just couldnt tell from the picture that was posted on slponline if it was tubular, boxed or the same design as what i got. thanks for the replies, i appreciate the help guys.
