Default Need PHB for hose mod
Would anyone recommend and adj PHB for my car lowered with just the hose mod in the rear? I bet it's lowered around 3/4" or so

Dainius just curious but what difference did you notice?

And reason I made the post in the first place is because I took off around a corner today and my buddy behind me said he thought he saw my rear end move side to side a little, but I didn't feel it

I also installed lca and relocation brackets at the same time so its hard to say. Everything overall just seems more stable I guess is how I would say it. Rear end feels more planted to the ground now with less flowing feeling.

Yea like the others have said unless your planning on some lowering springs its not needed. I'm riding on the ls1 prokit so that's why I went with the adjustable.

After you do the hose mod, do the string and nut measurement deal and see if the rear is off enough to bother you. If you're ok with it, no need for an adjustable PHB.
