Default Panhard Bar Relocation Question

How important is it to relocate the panhard bar? I know it gives more room to run exhaust out the back but I plan on just running mufflers off the headers. Is there a performance advantage to it or can I save the $200 and spend it elsewhere?

Save the $200 and spend it elsewhere, Most guys Dont even run the panhard support bar or w/e you wanna call it. I bought the bmr relocation piece bcz I got an awesome deal on it. Needless to say I never used it and removed the stock brace.

Just leave your stock one on there unless youre trying to run exhaust over it. There is no legit advantage that I've read about it.

I haven't had that brace on my car for the last 6 years LOL. Take it off. Unless you're road racing, I don't think it does a whole lot.

If you were to wipe out, and give the rear a side shot on a curb or something then yes I can see that doing alot, but other then that I think it's somewhat redundant.
