If you're asking to see if you can get away with lowering without getting an adjustable panhard bar, you won't find the answer you're looking for

It's a necessity, imo, when lowering.

An adjustable PHB is wise when lowering to say the least. If you have stock sized tires, particularly the 16" I can't say it's a 100% necessity, but any larger wheels and tires, and it is. Tires not withstanding, the way a PHB mounts means that any variation in ride height causes a shift of the body vs. the axle. Basically the body moves when you change ride height. This happens dynamically which is what a Watts link fixes.

Here's my before and after pics with Strano springs. The ride height was pretty bad before, I think it's perfect now.

Personally I have never liked "dropping" these cars...especially when the tops of the tires dip into the fender wells.Not my thing.

Then I started noticing these Strano set ups and must admit that they really look good! The stance is perfect,not too low and has a perfect look. Nice work Strano! Now to start saving up!

Nice pics guys!! Especially digging 4150's ride... Thanks for sharing!
