Default who has a BMR upper panhard bar relocation

Who is running a upper panhard relocation bar on a lowered or slightly lowered car?

Seen your pics, nice undercarriage.


Did you run into any problems installing the upperpanhard bar? I heard there maybe some problems you may face on a lowered car to install the upper bar.


How low is your car?

I also have the Founders bar. I'm lowered in the back with the heater hose and a half coil cut, so safely an inch. No problems, it helped with the true dual clearance.

What were the issues you were hearing about?

If you do the relocation bar and lower your car you NEED to do an adjustable panhard bar as well other wise there will be issues.

I have also heard of people not greasing the bushings and getting squeaking. The main point of the relocation is simply to give you exhaust clearance which is great but guess what, the exhaust requiring panhard bar relocation is probably still going to rattle off the heat shield back there. The struggle is real.
