Pan hard rod and LCA suggestion?
I am in the market for some rear lower control arms, and a good pan hard rod, are they all pretty much the same with the exception of adjustable ones. are the adj. ones even very necessary? im just looking for some opinions on different rear suspension setups, im looking to lower my 60 foot and ets and get rid of wheel hop. without breaking the bank too please.

Try the UMI rod/poly combos. Best for performance, handling, noise. They sell them as a set, although there is not really a price savings. Rod/rod are noisy, poly/poly bind too much. Non-adjustable are pointless for the most part. Be sure and get a 4 wheel alignment when installed, and let the tech know how they are adjusted. Relocation brackets also help.

i just ordered an adjustable panhard rod and a set of adjustable LCA's from BRM.
adjustable is the way to go, you can position the rear end exactly where it needs to be. and you can fine tune it for your setup on the street or on the track.
BMR has one hell of a deal going on too. i saved 60bucks on these two items compared to normal everyday pricing. more info can be found here https://ls1tech.com/forums/sponsor-sales-specials/882534-tax-refund-sale-bmr-fabrication-4th-gen-suspension-parts.html

I would definitely get adjustable everything. It offers more flexibility for future mods should you need it. As far as a which manufacturer I have all UMI stuff and love it. Awesome quality and even better customer service.

I have the Eibach sportline kit on my car, with a nonadjustable panhard rod, and when I look at my car, the rear right tire sticks out more from the side then the left side. The only reason I am swapping to an adjustable is to correct that offset.

I found the adjustable LCAs to be a must after installing my moser 12 bolt.
The wheels were not centered at all. It was bad enough that I decided to take to a alignment shop to have the rear centered in all four directions
