Adjustable vs non PHB I'm debating on ordering a panhard bar for my 99z
It's stock suspension right now my shocks are in good health but are the stockers, too much money and i'm not 110% what I want yet so they can stay for now.
The car will be a daily for a long time it sees a race here or there *kinda of a trialthon build i'm looking for street drag and turns*
I'm big into learning suspension and playing with it, So i've been thinking of ordering a double adjustable PHB, but I'm wondering for a car that's a daily and won't be upgraded too much quickly. Is it worth it to bother getting adjustable if so should I do single or double?
Would ordering an adjustble be a headache if i'm not going to be doing more then sways for a while?

Even if you're not lowered, I always recommend an adjustable panhard bar for two reasons:
1) You might someday decide to lower it. Why spend money again later?
2) GM's factory tolerances aren't always the best. Your rearend may be slightly off-center from the factory.
If you're not lowered, just set the bar to the same length as the stocker and start from there. If you find a shop with a good 4-wheel aligment rack, they can help you get the rearend centered.

Thank you much that's pretty much what I asumed, but im still double checking myself before I cut a check as i'm pretty new to soild axles and trying to turn lol!
I say get an adj. as well. I have 17x11's and my car is lowered. It also had a non adj ph rod. I had it like that for about 4 years. I ordered an adj Umi poly/sperical end one a few weeks ago. It made a huge difference in the way my car tracked and handled after the rear end was centered.
