Suspension Info.............

Got a couple questions on a few things here.
1.What is the benefit to having an adjustable panhard rod?
2.When it comes to the rear control arm kits, is there anything specific to look for on these?
Any additional info is appreciated

When you lower a thirdgen you move the rear end from being centered under the car. A adjustable panhard bar lets you recenter the rear end under the car which could not be done with a non adjustable type. When looking to get LCA's check to see what kind of material they are made of and the thickness of it. Also ask what kind of bushings are installed in them and see if they are greaseable. I would suggest a set of LCA's from www.spohn.net ,I have a set and love the quality of them.

The Spohn LCA's are some of the best in my opinion.Still, Hotchkis,and others make good quality LCA's too,though not quite as nice.
If you're on a tight budget,the Lakewood LCA's are only $83.00 a pair,and their adjustable panhard is $86.00,both with greaseable poly bushings.I have these and they work well,though I don't have a lot of miles on them yet.
