Default is PHB relocation necessary?

Is a PHB relocation necessary on a car with a drop and 3" exhuast? It's a magnaflow 3"... not a true dual....

Thanks

Even on a stock ride height car the rear end is biased towards the driver side.

Does anybody have the BMR PHB Relocation Bar on their car? Does lowering the PHB brace and PHB on the bracket affect suspension geometry?

On my brothers car it did. We had the PHB located on the third hole from the top and it vibrated like hell. We then moved it to the second hole and it got considerably better, but we still had to work on the adjustment of the PHB to get everything just right. Hope this helps. As a side note, we also had to buy the BMR relocation bracket because we kept breaking the tailshaft off of the trans, and this is only on a mid 11 sec. street car.

The relocation is meant for guys wanting to run big pipes for duals over the axle... anything else and the setup is just another $225 piece to waste money on.

There are legitimate panhard bar relocation kits that are designed to lower the roll center for serious road racing. unbalanced engineering.
