1LE panhard bar length vs. z28 stock?
Does anybody have exact dimensions of the 1LE panhard bar and non-1LE (stock '99 Z28) panhard bars?
I think I was quoted a while ago that the stock's 43". After couple years in my garage I finally got to install rear part of 1LE SLP package (shocks/springs), which drops the rear ~0.75". Now it appears to me that the rear is shifted to the drivers side ~1/4".
1LE bar should complement the rest of the 1LE package, therefore I expect it to be slightly (?) shorter. However on-line sale broshures only mention that 1LE provides harder durometer bushings. If anybody could tell from top of his(er) head or quickly measure both [between hole centers], that'd be highly appreciated.

1LE springs don't drop the car any, they just have a higher spring rate. I've never heard of the "1LE SLP package" but it sounds like their level one springs.
This is why manufacturers make adjustable panhard bars, so no matter the drop you can adjust it to center the rear end, pick one up and your problem is solved.

Sorry about confusion. 1LE package (adjustable 'yellow' Koni shocks + full set of 1LE components) is the original 1LE package sold until 1999 and then reintroduced an year later. SLP sold the package at the time as one of their SS options.
I have 1LE SLP level one package, which includes revalved Bilsteins and matching progressive rate Eibach springs. It drops the car ~0.75" according to manufacturer [which I found ~accurate] and also assumes 1LE panhard bar.
Could anybody confirm if 1LE length is any different than 'stock' z28? I thought I'd ask, since any adjustable bar would be $100+, and 1LE is $30 at the most.
