i just installed mine only to find out ive been riding around all of this time with my car being off over an inch to the passenger side. Thanks to the adj phb its all centered now
If for absoultely nothing else, just look at the difference...
a nice solid piece of metal vs a stamped sheet of metal. Plus, the adjustable bar does help re-center the wheels after lowering.

The adjustable version is the only one that will allow you to make the side to side adjustments to correct the rear alignment. The non adjustable panhard bar is a fixed length so if the rear alignment is off you CANNOT make a correction.

Well just like BMR said it can be a little off even if you dont lower it. You would really notice if you ever try to run 315s on the rear. I am lowered and running 315s and its really close on one side and far off of the other, I just havent had the time to install mine yet.
Like BMR said you can get away without one but it wont be perfect, I would have done it anyway just to get rid of that stamped steel stuff.

Even if a car is stock it does not mean the rear is centered. Mine was a 1/4" off towards the driver's side when it was stock. Does a 1/4" matter? Probably not but for me it is piece of mind.
