For street use, the poly ends are the softest, while still an upgrade from stock.

As far as adjustability, you don't really need an adjustable or aftermarket panhard rod unless you have wider tires or are lowered.

For lower control arms, tubular will be plenty for a street car and what most people go with. These only really need to be adjustable if you have an aftermarket rear end, or are lowered irrc.

Hello,

Thanks for considering the UMI product line. We will be glad to help you.

For a fun street car we would recommend polyurethane bushings on the control arms and panhard bar like recommended above. One of our popular packages can be seen here- #201529

I recommend the adjustable panhard bar for cars that are lowered, it allows the rear end to be re-centered once a car is lowered. I am not sure if you are lowered or planning on lowering.

Give us a call if you can and we will be glad to go over anything needed or post back here. We are short staffed today from some vacations but if you can call tomorrow we would be glad to help.

Thanks!
Ryan

I will be lowered withing a few months, so I was thinking just get the best thats out there for my setup and then actually fit into that setup when I lower the car.
