well i already have a non adjustable.. i was just wondering if a different spring couldnt potentially drop the car a little bit and mess up the geometry of the suspension? i shouldve bought an adj. panhard but i didnt.. im just wondering if i can get away with it...

Well, there's really only one way to find out. I don't see the point in upgrading the panhard bar unless you get an adjustable one though.

I have a BMR 1.5 inch drop on stock shocks with a stock stamped panhard, car seems fine.
Others will chime in though.

PH Bar essentially would just be appearance modwith stock springs. Though most aftermarket bars ARE stiffer, it's main purpose is to center the rearend in the car. The only time you *need* an adjustable bar is with lowering springs. Most cars from the factory aren't necessarily "perfectly square" either but they should be close enough to please almost everyone...

You only *need* it if you want the rear tires centered (though that definetely is a good idea ). If you have wide tires like 315s it becomes more important (Especially on lowered cars) as you can have rubbing on one side and not the other....

Yeah, if you're running stock springs, a non-adjustable bar is fine...
