BOSS APPROVED!
what is the gain of...
When I changed swapped my stock PHB for an UMI adj. Rod- / Poly-End-Style PHB I realized that:
Generally: The rear end felt more solid.
Detailed:
- When driving fast through S-Curves (left-right-left) and
- When changing from accelerating to braking (or vice versa) in a curve...
... the car felt really better. The side to side swinging was reduced.
This was even better, when I changed from the 16" stock wheels to 17".
Just my personal experience... Holger

That being said....
I have stock right height, but I do have adjustable Spohn rod/poly PHB and LCAs. They allow for the adjustment of the rear axle in all horizontal directions (left, right, forward back, diagonally). My rear was a bit off with the stock parts and is all straight now with the adjustables (adjusted by the mechanic during an alignment...you have to ask for it and may need to convince them to do it).

So the whole purpose is to strengthen the rear suspension or to make a more solid handling feel and to center the axle if the vehicle is lowered.
JEGS sells a bracket for the panhard bar and states that it is necessary when lowering a car. I do not see anyone else selling a version of this bracket http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...1319&langId=-1 so is it really necessary or is the adjustable panhard bar all you need?
