I have the SLP Level 1 kit just sitting on my floor, and before I install it, I want to change everything. I'm going with Hotchkis control arms, and phb, but will I need an adjustable one? The kit only lowers the car 3/4" Thanks! <img border="0" alt="[Camaro]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />

 

Any change in height means adjustable panhard.

Dope

More importantly, you can 2) adjust the axle left-to-right for fender/wheelwell clearance. If you do 1) without checking 2), you may *create* clearance problems.

If you have the SLP level 1 kit, why would you buy Hotchkis control arms? Poly-poly LCAs create handling problems.

I run a 2.5" drop, a GM 1LE PHR, and 10.5" wide wheels, and the axle is centered and the tires fit up inside the wheel wells without rubbing.

My Eibach ProKit springs dropped me 1-5/8" in the rear and I was only off-center by ~1/8" with the rear axle. With a 3/4" drop you may not need any adjustment at all.
