Panhard bar or Poly bushings?
Ok, so im thinking about throwing down about 140 bucks on some upgrades right away. I'm contemplating buying poly motor mounts and trans mount, or a spohn or sinister adjustable panhard bar.
Which one will show me some results when I put the foot to the floor?
with upgraded bushings on the trans and motor mounts it should throw the power better to the rear end, correct?
What exactly does the panhard bar do? and in what "adjustments" do you do for what scenerios?

Re: Panhard bar or Poly bushings?
The poly mounts will help hold everything in place better, but you will never "feel" it transferring power better.
The panhard bar adjustment is mainly to make sure your rear end is properly located "centered" in the chassis.
If your looking for something that will make a noticeable difference, look instead at a decent set of control arms.
Something like these, will cost you a few more dollars, but are a great upgrade, but do know that there may be a slight increase in NVH.

As you stiffen up the chassis with upgraded parts, you will start to notice noises and vibrations that the stock stamped and rubber bushed parts masked.
