LOWERING...NEED PANHARD?

Ok I will be lowering my car this spring about 1.5 inches. Will I need an adjustable panhard rod right away? or will I be able to wait a bit? Thanks for the help guys

Mine has been lowered for about 4 years. I never installed the adjustable panhard bar. The rear end is about 1/4 inch off center. It won't hurt a thing.

I also lowered mine a few years ago and drove it with the stock bar until last year. I switched to a Lakewood adjustable and centered the rear in the car. The results were dramatic. The car drove straight with very little steering input and launched straighter as well.

I agree it's a good mod, but the old one won't hurt anything.
