PanHArd Bar Advantages??

I'm planning to have steve spohn install SFC's in my car in a few months, and I was wondering what exactly getting a new PH Bar would aide in? I know that an adjustable one will allow you to pre-load the rear, but other than that, are they any advantages to getting a spohn stock replacement PH Bar?? If so, what kind of advantages? Thanks.

yes keeps that rear end centered, which is very important.

that stock panhard bar is very weak, flexes easily.

some bend with the most minor hitting in the rear end.

An adjustable one allows you to re-center the rear end more than pre load it. This is necessary when you lower your car. It adjusts to retain the stock geometry of the rear suspension.
