a torque arm, LCA's and LCA relocation brackets will do far much more for drag racing than a PHR will. that's not to say a PHR won't help at all, but the difference is likely negligible unless you're making crazy power.

I believe the adj panhard rod is mainly to help recenter the rear after you lower it.

it does that, but can also be used to center the rear if it's off from the factory, which it is in many cases. it can also help in cornering to keep the rear end from moving side-to-side as much when you're hitting the corners, but since you don't really see much side-load in drag racing, the upgrade would be pretty much negligible.

Hello
He's right! The Pan hard bar keeps the rear end centered under the car! And when you lower the ride height on a vehicle it off sets the rear and a adjustable allows you to readjust the rear back under the vehicle! If you have any other questions about suspensions feel free to ask and I will be glad to help!
Thanks
Brad
