Is an adjustable panhard rod bracket needed??? as the title say's i was just wondering if i needed to order the bracket? because i was going to order hotchkis lowering springs, an adjustable panhard bar and i noticed there is an adjustable bracket available for it, and i was wondering if it was needed. i am running torque thrust II wheels 17x9 1/2 in front 275's and 17x11 out backw/ 315's and i just want to have all the parts to be able to complete the install in one afternoon. insted of having to start installing everything and then stop everything cause i should have bought the dam bracket. well i hope someone could answer my question soon cause i wanted to order this stuff today sometime...
thanks

As far as I know, the bracket is only needed if you're running bigger exhaust pipes. When you lower the car, it changes the angles of the upper and lower panhard bars, and can cause clearance issues with some exhaust systems.
I'm not running a bracket, and I've got Hotchkis springs, 17x11 ZR1's with Eagle GSD3's and a Magnaflow catback with zero clearance issues.

He's correct - the relocation bracket primarily works in conjunction with the new upper panhard bar to relocate it in order to provide increased clearance for larger diameter exhaust pipes going over the axle/panhard bar.
