Default panhard rod

If I am going for an aftermarket one, do I absolutely NEED an adjustable one? Or is anything better than the stock piece? Had my eyes on the UMI package with LCAs and PHB (both non-adjusting), I've heard of adjustable PHB being needed to sometimes recenter the car when doing 17x11 wheels (which I don't plan on doing... possibly ever). Thanks!

I didn't even know there was a section just for handling... if a mod could move it I'd appreciate it, rather than just posting again in there. Thanks

Hello,

Yes if you plan on lowering the vehicle then I highly recommend a adjustable panhard bar. It will help to recenter the rear end under the vehicle once it has been lowered, this prevents tire rubbing ect.

We are running a 10% off sale right now until the 17th of this month. So that will help some, if you have any questions please ask. Thanks!

Ryan

So now that adjustable PHB is resolved, what about LCAs? do they also need to be adjustable?
