Panhard rod installation
I bought Founders LCA relocation brackets, LCA, and single adjustable panhard rod. I installed them all but I wanted to make sure I installed the panhard rod correctly. How do I know its adjusted correctly? Do I just install them like the stock one? If i did that, wouldn't it be just like I have a stock one? Do i need to put my car on the ground and then install it to make sure its adjusted properly? My car is lowered so that's why I got the adjustable one. Thanks

Re: Panhard rod installation
Brackets lower rear mounting bolt of lcas. They normally weld in after you bolt the uppermost bolt in and have the back of the bracket flush. Spohn has found normally the lowest hole provides best suspension hookup, but most people say you should still test/tune on your selection.
Lcas bolt in. If you have adjustments on them that will allow you to center each wheel properly in the wheel well (shorten moves tire forward/lengthen move it backwards).
Panbar centers the rear side to side. There is an upper mount on the body and the lower mount is on the rear. You will probably have to raise and lower the car a few times to figure out where exact you want it. This is because as the car squats under its weight it make the bar more horizontal than diagional without any load. Also the bolts are different sizes so if you get them mixed up and one fits but the other doesn't you probably have them backwards. Been there done that.
