How does this work............

When I lower my car, getting an adjustable panhard rod will help to re-center my rearend-correct? Do I also need adjustable lower control arms? How does all this work? I can see how the adjustable control arms would help recenter, but how does the panhard rod help? Am I looking at this all in the wrong way? Any info is appreciated.....an explanation would be great

you need to get relocating brackets for the LCAs to put them lower than the axle since the body is x" lower than the axle. The LCAs need to stay horizontal.

the LCA's will adjust your axel position from front to back, this will not really be affected buy lowering, the panhard rod, possitions the axel from left to right, becuase of the desing of our suspension, lowering the car will affect this, so and adjustable panhard bar, will alow you to recenter the axel.

BTW relocation brackets would be a good idea, because it will allow you to get the proper angle of the LCA's, otherwise you will have traction issues, and ALOT of wheel hop.

Hope that helped.
