Default question on adj PHB....

I've seen the adjustable PHB that adjust on each end, then I have also seen the PHB that adjust in the middle. what are the pros/cons on each one. I am lowering my car within a week so I need to know which one to get. I've heard the PHB that adjust in the middle is much easier. all comments welcome.

I installed a BMR panhard a few weeks ago, it works great and it's the center adjustment type.

I'm not sure what you mean by "do u have everything bolted in and then put the PHB on???". Probably the best way to explain how to adjust the PHB is in this link, http://www.bmrfabrication.com/instructions/phr002.htm

Thanks for the info!

I just installed an adjustible pan hard bar. It had no instructions on how to adjust. How close is close enough? Is 1/32-1/16" close enough? That's where mine is sitting right now. I adjusted mine to factory length and this is what it reads.

If this is close enough I don't even need an adjustible bar. Might as well reinstall my factory. I thought an alignment shop would have to set it. Too bad I didn't have this info before purchasing the bar.

I've had both styles of adjustable panhard bars.

First a BMR Chromemoly adjustable with the center adjustment bolt, and MADMAN's billet aluminum with the jam-nuts on either end.

I found the style with jam nuts on either end to be MUCH easier to adjust than the center adjustment bolt. Loosen up the jam nuts and then just grab the bar and twist.
