Best panhard rod.

Who makes the best adjustable panhard rod for the money. My car is a daily driver and has never seen the race track so I don't need a hard core race part. I was looking at either a Hotchkis or BMR. I personally like the BMR because you can adjust it on the car. So what are your opinions on these or are there better ones out there.
Thanks
Thanks

Well, best for the money is subjective. A high quality PHR is worth the extra money spent, so I'm going to recommend that you at least consider the LG PHR with rod ends. I know that you're not looking for "hardcore" parts, but these are very high quality ends and as such they are reasonable for street use.
If it were me I would avoid the center-adjustable PHR. Not a good idea.
I'm sure you'll get a million opinions, though. This just happens to be mine

Oh here it is: XMR-12 and XML-12 for the 3/4 inch right and left hand threads. They are the "Endura 2000 series."

Yup and the cheap ones are still cheap ones. The XMR series are excellent.
However, most use 3/4" heim joints but some use a 5/8ths heim (Bad Z's and possibly others). So, make sure which ones you have before you order the wrong size.
