A PHR is a way better idea since your car is lowered. As long as you don't have wheel hop then you don't need LCAs quite so bad, although they are a nice thing to have.

Where can I get a Panhard bar for a good price? does it have to be adjustable?

Adjustible allows you to reposition the rear end under your car. Do you notice one wheel/fender clearance to be smaller than the other? (If you have stock tires, you can get away with non-adj. but if you go with wider tires you'll probably need the adjustibility to avoid rubbing on one side)

I just put a Hotchkis PHB in and I can tell my rear stays more centered and tracks better when spinning.

My opinion is to stay away from BMR LCA's; go with LG, a proven product. With the PHR, yes adjustable if lowered and wide tires as mentioned above.

I just installed my BMR panhard rod and I love the way it takes turns!! Getting sideways around turns feels way more stable now!!

I have an adjustable Hotchkis PHR with
about 1000 miles on it. I decided not to
lower my car so I put the stocker back on.

Anyone interested email or PM me an offer
