Re: panhard bar ..woth replacing?
Yes, especially if they have better bushings than your stock LCAs & especially if you are in to pushing your car, whether it be drag racing or autocross.
Most likely what your talking about , comes with polyurethane bushings. The stock rubber bushings are kinda weak, once you get to feel the difference you'll realize it.

I just changed my Panhard Bar and Lower Control Arms with UMI's tubulars. Really Tightened up the rear end. When you get your old panhard bar out, you'll think it's a joke. The new parts are SOOOO much stronger.

Re: panhard bar ..woth replacing?
If you replace the PHB on a lowered car, get an adjustable PHB. Even on a stock height 3rd gen, the rear axle can be offset. Mine was. I have mine within 1/8" of centered now, thanks to the adjustable PHB from UMI.
I have rod ends in all mine on my daily driver, so there is NO deflection in my bushings.

My bushings on my stock bar were torn when i replaced mine, plus ive seen a few bars tweaked or bent so its worth it
