Another prokit here....I've got 315 BFG dr's out back and NO adjustable panhard. Doesn't rub during everyday driving, but I am planning on getting a adjustable panhard, eventually

I have 315s on my car and I had the Pro-kit before and switched to Strano springs. I would never go back. The Strano springs are way better than the Eibach springs.

I have 315's and pretty low. I have an adjustible PHR, removed the bumpstops and rolled the fenders. The hit NOTHING NOW! They were hitting the fenders before they were rolled...

I have Sumitomo 315's. Before I lowered, I had to lightly beat the inner fenders and cut the bumpstop out. It did not rub anything with people in the backseat then.
When I got lowered and removed the rear isolator, the rear tires hit the fender lip on hard bumps or when people were in the back seat. Also, I had to re-hammer the inner wells because they rubbed again and rolled the inner fender lip. Yes, I have a double adj BMR panhard rod as well. Now I have zero issus with or without people in the backseat.
If you get an adjustable shock like the Koni's then you can make adjustments to soften the ride. If you wanna get lowered, it should be because you want it to perform better, a little comfort will be sacrificed. I have my front shocks on 4 from firm and the rear of full soft. Louisiana has horrible roads and my car feels like one solid piece of metal. Back home in NC is great. No bumps, handles awesome, couldn't be happier. Sam is the man though.

I have 315 35 17's on OE concepts Zr1 wheels I have the problem of rubbing the inner fender. My bump stops are removed. I want to say the off set is 52 mm, but don't quote me on that. I belive If I lower with 2 inch spring the monster tires will rub both the rear quarter and the inner fender. Right now I have 1/4 inch spacer to get the tire off the inner fender. Any one with help? How much does the ADJ. panhard bar actually do.
