Default Panhard Bar

I am waiting for my BMR adjustable panhard bar to come in. I was wondering what I can expect from installing this. My car has LCAs with Bilstein shocks and stock springs and a stock t/a. I am looking to be able to get my rear end centered under the car, it sits of to the drivers side right now.

I thought my rear seemed more planted/stable, but it could just have been that the 84k miles on the stock PHB bushings made the new one seem better.

I think I might feel a difference too. My car has 164xxx on it and I think the stock PHB is all stock. It may not be a real difference but I think anything is better than what I have know.

I felt no difference, but it allowed me to center the rear, which is always good.

Like others have mentioned the biggest gain is obviously going to be able to center the rear under the car.

You will also have the added benefit of tubular DOM construction(versus stamped steel) and poly versus rubber factory bushings.

These 2 things will lead to a better handling and more responsive suspension.
