I want to replace my panhard bar and lower control arms mostly for the look, I don't drive the car everyday mostly to car shows and just out for a ride. How will the ride be affected I have been reading a lot of mixed reviews, is the driveability affected that much or just when your on it thanks.

 

There are a lot of opinions on here about the bushings as you've seen. I don't have numbers to back up my results, just seat of the pants experience. On one of my old cars i had the poly/poly Lakewood bars, and the car drove fine. I didn't notice any binding, but I wasn't auto-crossing or road racing, mostly just driving around. On my current car, I have Founders poly/roto-joint lca's and poly/rod-end panhard bar. Before, the car would just burn the tires anytime I hit the throttle hard, now it plants me in the seat and takes off. For what you seem to be looking for, it wouldn't be a bad option.

 

ok thanks that is the same set up I am looking at

 

Here is a packaged deal that UMI sells. I swapped out my stock stuff for the UMI ones. I have no complaints about the ride or anything after installing them on mine, only compliments.

that's the kit I want. how was the ride before and after the install?

 

if i were to change something just for looks it would be something easier to see.just saying.

 

The ride wasn't bad before the install. However it did seem to make the back end of the car more stiff and solid after the install.

 

Also look at founders. Same fantastic parts...half the price!
