lca and panhard rod worth it?

I'm thinking of buying these, will they improve my car that much? Where should I get them from? How easy to install? Thanks.

I don't know about a half second, but the LCA will definetly help 60ft times and overall ET signficantly. The panhard rod will make it a little more stable in the curves, but I had to choose one, I'd get the LCA's. If you are planning on making the car faster, the LCA's are a good investment for a Street/strip car or a roadrace/handling suspension. Installing them is easy as they are usually direct bolt ons.

Your stock LCA's and panhard bar are weak and flex alot in hard launch and cornering.By switching to a box or tube type design it will greatly improve your launch and cornering ability due to reduced flex.I have the tube type adjustable LCA's and panhard bar from Steve Spohn,one of our sponsors on this bored.His products are top noch quality and you can get them in your choose of powder coated red or black.The installation is pretty strait forward and simple.
