Default Lower Control Arms and panhard rod...Install??

I am going to be ordering some BMR LCA's & panhard rod both adjustable, to start working on my suspension modifications. I was wondering will I need any other accessories or complimentary parts to make the install go without any problems. For example, when lowering a car you need a relocation kit to stabalize it after installing lower springs. I currently have a stock suspension but springs and shocks are in the near future.

Thanks guys,

- also if you guys know which one of our sponsor has the best deal on BMR adustable LCA's and panhard rod's let me know I will be ordering this next friday the 24th.

I bought new hardware when I ordered my rear suspension parts. Why use the stock old bolts with your new parts? Don't forget to get some grease/grease gun.

Ok, hardware is a good idea, got that on my list now. But what are the upper and lower panhard rods? I thought it was just one like this:

there is no 'upper PHR'. its a support for the rod, like a body brace. there is no reason to replace it. its not a wearing part and its not weak from the factory to warrant replacing. the only reason you would do that is when running true duels, and need extra clearance. then the PHB relocation come in.

i cant think of anyone on FRRAX (people who race professionally) that has changed their 'upper PHB' for anything besides clearance.

FYI, if you get a rod ended anything, be sure to check whether or not its self lubricating. if it is, DO NOT lube it with anything. the lube will actually eat away at the rod end and cause premature wear. if it isnt self lubed, ie: not teflon lined, then you can spray with the lube that UMI sells or something different.

Hello
Are you talking about the upper pan hard bar relocation? To allow you to have more clearance with the exhaust. Below is a link to show you what UMI Performance has too offer!

Sounds like a pretty good setup, but I would put a torque arm and a poly trans bracket on the list too since it sounds like you're just starting suspension mods, and it's probably a good idea to get an adjustable T/A when lowering the car so you can maintain a good pinion angle
