Panhard bar
Have tokico d struts/shocks, waiting on h&r sport springs and gt600 strut mount delivery. If I need an adjustable panhard bar after installing parts, any recommendations? Spherical vs bushing ends?

Just installed the Steeda adjustable panhard bar today. It is VERY impressive! MUCH lighter than stock, and allows dialing in the rear wheel position with precision. My axle was about 1/2" to 3/4" offset to the left (with bar set equal to stock bar length), prior to adjusting the Steeda bar. it's now perfect. 
I waffled, but I am very glad I finally opted to buy the bar. And I bought it directly from SteedaGus.

I also have the Steeda adj panhard bar. Installation was a breeze, hasn't moved one tidy bit since i set the adj screws with locktite blue. Very high quality piece.

My car had shifted about 3/4 inch after i dropped it with Ford racing springs.
The bar realigned everything up perfectly. I couldn't be happier.

Re my orthopedic health - I've had complications, have developed a neuritis in my left foot as a side effect from scar tissue from the surgery. It further validates my selling the 6MT and switching to a 6AT...

Yeah i'm gonna have to get me an adjustable Panhard bar as well. I put the Eibach Pro-kit on my car and the rear is out 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. Dropped the car an inch in the front and 1.5 in the rear. The stance is perfect with the 20's i put on it.

Thanks! Did you do anything about the negative camber in your front wheels after the drop? I installed the Steeda Ultralites (will post photos in a new thread later), which claim a 1.25" drop in the front and 1.5" in the rear. I can definitely see an increase in negative camber in the front. Great for track cornering, not good for tire wear. But sheesh, this thing now feels like it has the reflexes of a cat & the speed of a mongoose. (I love Ace Ventura!)

Good luck with the side effects, hope everything works out good for you.
I know what you're going through bro, i'm still delaing with the same type of problems due to my 2 herniated dics that left me with some neurological syntoms in my right calf.

Another one to consider would be the SPC dual adjustable panhard

I ordered mine along with the trailing arms from unified distribution for 130 I believe. I'm still waiting for the coilover kit to come in before I install everything.

Thanks vc4life, never heard of spc. Watching their videos brought up another question: which joint is stronger, MIG or TIG weld?

They made a point to mention MIG weld joint on the adjustable panhard, I figured why mention it?

I think I'm starting to look too much into it :-) I should just take a step back and just buy one :-)
