Default Lowred cars...your results from adj pan rod?

I just put mine on and got it as close to center as possible. Took it for a spin and it seems that when the car shifts from 1-2 at WOT the tires seem to break loose more. Also, seems like my steering is a little bit more loose than before. Maybe ill have to drive it a little more to really feel it.

What were your results?

It re-centered the rear wheels. I noticed no difference in performance.

Panhard has -nothing- to do with fore-aft action.

I am lowered 1", put an adjustable on after setting
it dead-even with the stocker lined up on the
concrete, and never touched it since (except grease
and a dab of RTV on the threads to keep the jam nut
from backing off). Side-side alignment looks fine and
I could've gone without it. But it was cheap, used,
and black....

No performance gain here either, just a centered rear end.

Sounds like you need LCA relocation brackets if you don't have them.

An aftermarket panhard rod is supposed to be more rigid than the stock stamped piece which therefore keeps the rear from moving during turns. You probably won't notice it much but it actually is doing something back there besides just making your rearean centered.

You need lca relocation brackets and you may want to check the "level" of your panhard rod since you have lowered it. I had to move the body side of my panhard up to make it "level" after I lowered miy SS. That made a noticeabl difference on how the car handled.
