Non adjust panhard bar & Lca Not lowering ?
I'm playing around with the suspension on my newly aquired 90 GTA. New Sway bar bushings end links, wonder bar, subframe connectors.
I have no intentions of lowering the car ( it's fun enough getting out of it and my 01 ) Height is fine to me.
Would the non adjustable panhard and non adjustable LCA's be of any benefit? ( poly/poly)
Thanks ..

Re: Non adjust panhard bar & Lca Not lowering ?
The standard npn-adjutable rear LCA"s & panhard bar would work for you. I have the non-adjustable Spohn parts as a upgrade from the cheap factory style.
My personal opinion is leave the adjuable stuff to the guys who like to turn wenches all the time.

Re: Non adjust panhard bar & Lca Not lowering ?
Do you have any issues with binding? I have heard some say they have issues with binding due to the poly/poly bushings. I'm not running major horsies ( 305 TPI ) But just want a good solid suspension.

Re: Non adjust panhard bar & Lca Not lowering ?
Zero binding issues from my UMI pieces.
On my GTA, despite my stock PHB having poly bushings & the car still riding at stock height (no lowering or worn out springs), my rear axle was offset to the drivers side by almost a full inch. If I had wanted to stay with stock 245-sized tires, that woulda worked fine. But to fit my 315s, I needed the adjustable PHB to get the axle centered correctly to get both sides to fit.

I was looking at the UMI stuff.
How would your rear axle get out of alignment almost an inch? Hard drivin?

Re: Non adjust panhard bar & Lca Not lowering ?
Not a problem. I used a string having from each fender lip (with a washer tied on the end) to see the difference & adjust the UMI piece square.
If your staying with 245s, you probably won't even notice the difference enough to bother you. I didn't until I put 285s on & was ready to do the 315s.

Shouldn't be a problem. There is plenty of clearance for 245s.
