General Suspension Questions
I have some general suspension questions about my 2000 T/A. Here's a little back story... I bought a set of OEM C6 Z06 wheels and in my search to see if they will fit or not, many people who have fit them with little to no issues with them rubbing have had adjustable lower control arms. I also read somewhere that when adjustable lower control arms are installed, most people put a panhard bar in there as well.
This is what leads to my question, What exactly does all that do? And how does that correlate into my wide *** wheels?
Any and all help will be awesome! I'm still searching on this topic so if this was a stupid questions then I'll file it under the "I'm a newb" category"....
Thanks!

I've read that these two things will help wheel hop which is awesome, so I'm kind of killing two birds with one stone.
Does anyone have measurements or a ball park figure of how much wheel/tire clearance you gain from switching out control arms?

Adjustable rear LCAs and an adjustable panhard rod definitely would be a good idea with those taller/wider C6 Z06 wheels. The adjustable rear LCAs will allow you to adjust the front to back clearance in the wheel well and the adjustable panhard rod will allow you to adjust the inside and outside clearance in the wheel well. Here is what I would recommend:
BMR adjustable LCAs w/poly-urethane bushings (MTCA002)
BMR adjustable panhard rod (PHR002)
BMR adjustable LCAs w/poly-urethane bushings (MTCA002)
BMR adjustable panhard rod (PHR002)

With all the negative reasons against poly LCAs discussed here over the years, why would anyone recommend them?
