Hello,

Yes for a lowered car you want adjustable, this will allow you to center the rear end since the car has been lowered. Which one to choice is based on your driving and how you use the car, the biggest difference in panhard bars are the bushings used. Also some panhard bars are single adjustable and some on car adjustable, single adjustable ones are less expensive but require the items to be unbolted to adjust it. The on car is just like its name, on car adjustable making adjusting a lot easier.

How do you drive the car?

UMI's full line of Panhard bars can be seen HERE.

Hope this helps some,
Ryan

Would definitely recommend the on-car double adjustable. Well worth the few extra bucks over single adjustable. Makes getting the rear centered after lowering very simple and quick. Poly/Rod combo is good for your HP level too.

Double adjustable and on-car adjustable set ups are a lot easier to adjust. Single adjustable set ups are less expensive but require the panhard bar to be unbolted from the car to adjust it.

I hope that helps,

Hello Dan,

Yes that is an on car adjustable in the link and would work the same as a double adjustable. The one in the link above would be very easy to adjust.

Let me know if I can help anymore. Thank you,
Ryan

A blue Loctite would be a good idea, not the permanent stuff.

You just reuse the stock hardware with an aftermarket panhard right?

Yes, GM used a step bolt, this bolt has a 14mm shank but a 12mm thread so we recommend to reuse it.

I hope that helps,
