I know that college grind man, Midwest chassis is the best guys I have done business with by far. Very reasonable, they will beat any price you can come up with also, which is the way it should be. I will continue taking my business to them.

It is very nice having that kind of sponsors on here. Although for this purchase I decided to go with founders poly/poly panhard bar simply because the price is really good. I am definitely looking forward to doing business with Midwest Chassis.

Funny that you mention it, Ive been debating just that haha. A full rebuild would run at least 1500$ for parts alone. So the FAB9 is looking better and better haha

We designed the forged poly ends on this one to be the same size as a rod end. This allows our customers to purchase rod ends and the spacers so they can swap back and forth. We have customers that use the poly ends on the street and then when they go to a track day they swap in the rod ends.

I've been running your double rod end on mycar for a few weeks now with no issue. Maybe a little increased noise at lower speeds but nothing major. Reason I went double rod end with it is because I've been running one on my Lightning for probably 4 years or so and maybe 60K with zero issues, and Lightning didn't even come factory with a panhard bar.

I do like the idea of your single adjustable bar that you can set and tighten on the car for a nice street car bar.

what makes one Panhard adjustable "on car" vs another just adjustable?
Does that mean some "on car" adjustable panhards can be tightened or loosened with the suspension loaded and the others the car would have to be jacked up?

I doubt it is good or even possible to move the rear side to side without lifting the car up.

Thanks
