Re: Rear Suspension Question
you would have to put the springs in along with the panhard and see what happens, all cars are a little different. Just check to see if the rear is centered, or close enough. If not, you need an adjustable panhard.
not sure why they even make a non adjustable panhard bar, its seems pointless to me.

Re: Rear Suspension Question
Hello
The reason for manufactures to make non adjustable pan hard bars is just for a stock replacement. But seeing how you are using the pro kit springs its going to shift the rear in the vehicle and you are going to need to get a adjustable pan hard bar to center the rear under the vehicle. Below is a link to show you what all UMI Performance has to offer!
