Adjustable panhard rods can be bought brand new for $90 (Lakewood) from Summit... I don't have one and my rear-end is still centered... I do have a boxed factory one...
LCA relocation brackets are like what, another $40-$90? And I am sorry, but the verdict is still out on those... If you corner your car, I (and many other real racers, just read the suspension board) still think they are a bad idea. That angle can cause TERRIBLE skidding/wheel hopping/low traction in the corners. Having the LCA's at that angle might be good for drag racing but not cornering... I do not have those either...
So, for the $40 springs (which new you could get for $80) and $7 in metal to box my Panhard rod my car was good to go...
ANYWAYS, one comment I have is what's one of the FIRST THINGS people picking cars to be in magazines look for???
STANCE
!!!!How many average person cars (not 700hp monsters) make it into magazines that have the factory wheel gap still? I've never seen any...
So, when someone asks, "How's my car look, what should I do next?" Lowering it for a better stance always has and always will be the first thing noticed and mentioned

Yea, but they told me in a more indirect way when I asked what I should do with them. I can't remember exactly what they said, but it was something along the lines of... "lower it!!%#@"? I could be wrong.
