The Stock stamped piece does FLEX. Now the next question is how hard do you push your car? If you Push it to the upper realm of normal people then my .02 is YES!
And i can tell you U.M.I. makes some QUALITY pieces.

umi makes top notch stuff , but if your going to replace the panbar just go adjustable so if you do ever want to / need to center the rear you can and not have to go buy another pan bar

did you buy that kit? If not, don't.
I don't recommend LCAs with poly on both ends. You need something that articulates or you go into bind. Your rear end traction in turns will decrease.

So since I am lowered and have 315s would you all think that I should get an adjustable phb? 
I was thinking about lca and rlb as well. Then a torque arm would all this help with street traction? More about straight line then corners. Thanks

ThanksAnd those other parts you mention will also be helpful. The TA because your big meats will plant more rubber and apply a greater force on the pinion. The stronger torque arm will hold that in check and keep the wheel hop at bay.
The LCAs and RLBs will increase anti-squat which plants the tires harder.
