Default pics/info about my panhard/LCA installation

today i took about 3-4 hours installing my tubular non adj. panhard bar/LCAs from UMI performance. i checked out installuniversity.com for the directions, which are very clear and helpful throughout the installation. i spent about 40-50$ on a 0-80 ft/lb torque wrench, a 5000psi grease gun and a tube of synthetic grease. the hardest part for me and my friend was getting the first lca out, after that it was cake. it helps to take the emergency brake off so the e-brake line has some play and you can take the bolts (rear of car) out easier. after the install ive noticed better turning and the rear gets planted more then it used to. oh yeah if bolts are being stubborn, wd-40 of course works like magic. here are some final pics....

you might want to consider getting relocation brackets for the LCAs, it looks like its kinda high on the backend.
