Its an "on car" adjustable panhard bar. I don't know if that qualifies as a double adjustable or not. It really made the adjustment a snap because all you do is turn the bar and you can see the whole rear end move.

Don't know why the front left is 1/4 more, maybe it just has to sit for a little bit.

Because they sit left side high in general...

Even stock.

Good to see the numbers are right on (not that I expected anything else).

Diffenately IMO the springs to go with. No complaints from myself or the guy i bought them from. He actually tried to buy them back after i put them on my car he missed them so much.
