rear panhard brace bar,, what is it??
What does this brace do that goes between the frame in the back , just above the panhard bar.. Can this be removed if the car is not going to be roadraced.

probably, but since it is a reinforcment part, I'd leave it.
Why would you want to remove it? As a weight savings on a 'drag strip only' car, that'd work. For a daily driver, though, I'd keep it.

The bar above the panhard bar is called a stiffhard bar. It substantually braces the chassis mount for the panhard bar.
I would leave it on for all applications except maybe relatively low powered drag strip only cars.
