Default Any vendors planning on creating this soon?

This piece goes on driver's side of the panhard bar to offset the changes caused by relocating the panhard bar further down so that it stays parallel to the ground.

I jus' feel like 72 bucks is too steep for what it is? In an ol' thread, Founders Performance did say they have plans for it but I haven't heard from them about this since.

I have been waiting for this product to be produced as well. I have PM'd UMI about it last year and was told that they had plans to make one but not anytime soon. I also heard that Founders was planning to make a similar piece as well but that was a while ago now. Seems like a fairly easy product to produce, I know I would buy one for sure!

Unbalanced has been making them for a while.
Most just make their own & just weld them in.
Dont think I'd like a bolt in set up. Much prefer it to be welded.

Do they really make a difference in performance? I haven't ever seen these before.

It's not an issue of performance. If you were to buy a panhard relocation kit, the panhard bar will be off kilt and angling down towards the passenger side. By installing this Jeg's piece with the relocation kit, it places the panhard bar parallel to the ground again.

We can do it no problem, but keep in mind an adjustable phb will be required to use this.

^^ How much will it be?

I'm going with your SFC's and that new super-high-tuck Drive Shaft Safety Loop... This would be a nice addition to the mix.

It can help the cornering due to bringing the mounting point down on the body end.
That lowers the roll center point in the rear axle geometry.
So it's a handling mod for sure.

We do have plans to finish our version of this. The only problem is we are so busy right now just trying to keep up with our current parts that all new products have been put on hold until we get caught up.

Midwest: how much are these brackets? I already have an adjustable panhard rod so that wouldn't be an issue.

Founders: I know these things are hard to predict, but what kind of time frame are you looking at? Was going to order one of your panhard relocation kits also.

I can have them available within a couple weeks. Cost is gonna be around 60.00 depending on the laser cutter.
