Default Ordered my PHB

I decided to go with a UMI dbl. adjustable panhard rod. From what I read it got some of the best reviews out of all the phb's available. It is rod/rod so it should maximize my cornering capabilities. I will let you know how it rides once I get it installed. BTW is the install hard??

Good pick, it's what I have and I'm quite happy with it.

Install was a total breeze even with all my tools packed up ready to move. I got it on with just a few hand tools

Not that hard at all. Whats the difference in th 129 and the 169 one?

I got the 169 double rod ends. I like it a lot!

Just take your time and torque the bolts down to spec.

The only difference between the $129 one and the $169 one is that the $169 one is Chrome-Moly which just maximizes deflection and is about a pound lighter, so I just saved myself $40 and ordered the cheaper one since that was the only difference.
