Panhard bar relocation, UMI vs BMR vs Founders
Seems all three look identical. Im leaning towards the UMI piece because I have their RR K member +A Arms which is nice quality. Only thing bothering me is the Founders piece is $100 less than the other two. Anyone using these have an opinion? Im stock ride height with a fab 9 inch rear. Thanks

I recently installed the Founder's piece. I put it in so I can have more access to run a bigger exhaust. Welds look great. Solid unit.

Re: Panhard bar relocation, UMI vs BMR vs Founders
but as the trans is now a close ratio with a trans brake I upgraded to
to a bit more..also dropped 20lbs more off the car.
the upgrade is a aluminum set up with a bigger Daytona support and a bit more gear with a Detroit Locker.


the iron unit is getting boxed up and stored...ill pick up a 2nd aluminum housing and replace the iron unit.always have a back up unit.
