    I lowered the car last year (DMS 1.5" progressive rate springs) now I am looking at these parts :

    LCA
    and adj panard bar

    panard bar
    and relocation brackets

    brackets

    Any thoughts on the quality of these parts ...all opions welcomed

    thanks Bob

    Hope you have a killer stereo, you'll need it.

    The rod ends are much firmer for race track handling with zero deflection. This also transmits much more noise to the rest of the chassis. Fine for the track but is this a track only car? For the street, I would recommend poly on the differential end and firmer rubber on the chassis end.

    The lowering brackets will help regain the correct geometry of the lower arms after lowering so that is a great choice.

      I was kinda worried about the noise but it is a weekend only car (less than 800 miles last year) The price seemed good compared to BMR and I need an adjustable panard bar sorta wanted all matching components maybe that is not so important?

        800 miles a year!!!! hahaha

        I can put 800 miles on my play car in a week if the weather stays nice.

        Those relocation brackets look like they are the bolt in ones. See if you can get weld on's. They are stronger & will give you less to worry about. Any competent welder should be able to put them in, and it doesnt take long at all so they cant charge you much.
        No F-Body right now

          I run BMR: LCAs, Relocation brackets, Adjustable PH rod, Adjustable Torque Arm plus Intrax Springs, Airift Bags and I'm very happy. Lots of miles and substantially better performing than stock.

            With those aluminum pieces you won't transfer near as much noise through the body, but I have always been a little leary about aluminum parts that are supposed to defend against deflection from some significant torque loads.

            I have ridden in a few cars with the combo LCA's and they were not that much louder than stock. Poly on the chassis end and rod-ended on the axle housing end. They weren't bad at all, especially if it is just a weekend car, and it really firms up the rear of the car.

            Check out the Spohn stuff. It is similar in price, but IMO, much better quality.
