are adj panhard required??

I am lowering my 94 Z28 with eibach sportline package and putting on new shocks as well. Is an adjustable panhard rod a MUST?? or can it wait a month or so. Thanks!

It all depends. Sportlines drop the car a good bit, you might have problems with tire scrub. Just get the adj. PHR and do it right instead of half-assed.

The lower you lower the car, the more the axle will push towards the drivers side. You must shorten the PHB to bring it back to center.

UMI has an adjustable PHR for $100, plus they have a 10% off sale that should be ending real soon.....I haven't put mine on yet, but it looks like a real nice piece

oh well i ordered a hotchkis one today for like 120 so that seems reasonable. I'm running into problems replacing the front shocks and springs anyways so I might be getting it on the same time im finished lowering it. Also my swaybars (i think) are sqeaking like a bitch and the bushings are like 13 years old so no wonder... im thinking about putting in new sway bars too which should help out my handling a ton.

well it seems that I found the answer to this. I lowered my car with eibach sportlines and now my driveshaft seems to be hitting my floorpan when i hit any bump at all. If the panhard rod doesnt fix this im gunna be pissed.
