I wouldn't buy a non adjustible anything. I'm the original owner of my car and the ride hieght has never been altered. (stock shocks, stock springs) I just bought a used Spohn poly nonadj. panhard rod and its off. Pass. side wheel sticks out farther than the drivers side. I don't trust em. Now I need an adj. one.

i got the adjustable and love it mainly the TQ arm relocation bracket that allows for movement of instant center so i can either launch and try and break everything doing a wheely or i can just burn them and go no where, or somewhere in between like it is now look on my website one of the pages is just suspension
