Anyone here using BMR's panhard brace kit?
I was looking into getting this for my car but wanted to see what others thought of it before I parted with the cash. My one concern is about the relocation it offers. Would it throw things out of whack as my car is lowered with Sportlines and the panhard bar already sits level. Anyone?

if it sits level now, then there is no reason for the relocation brackets that come with the brace, but the brace wont hurt anything, except your wallet.

i have the kit, i dont have a pic right now of it installed. theo nly thing i dont like about it is that they only make it in ugly "silver vein", or uglier red. i choose the lesser of two uglies.
basicly, i bought the jegs panhard relocation bracket to compensate for the lowered frame mount side of the panhard. you have to drill out your factory bolt holes for the panhard, bolt in the brackets, the brace, and then i welded the jegs mount to the rear end. i did it for the clearance for the exhaust, and because my factory panhard mount has a bit of damage due to not having the factory brace for 3-4 years. i had to remove the factory brace for exhaust clearance. you would prob have to order the jegs bracket too, since the bmr kit would put the panhard at an angle with your lowered car.
if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.
