  • Adjustable Suspension Parts?

    What are the benefits of paying the extra 20-40 bucks to get adjustable suspension parts: shock tower brace, lower control arms, panhard bars, torque arms, etc?

    Is it worth paying for to be put on a high-performance minded, but still mostly street-use car?

    From what I read, if you ever plan on lowering the car, you need adjustable to grip up. I am lowering my car. I bought Adjustable panhard, and Torque arm. I bought regular lower control arms, but I bought the relocation brackets with 'em.

    So if you plan to stay stock height, non-adjustable is probably fine. If you want to lower the car you will need the adjustable panhard, ta. But you'll be fine with just regular LCA's and relo. brackets.

      I think everyone should get a adjustable panhard and do an accurate centering of the rear wheels. Factory is ok but never bang on. JUst my 2 cents.

        Adjustable LCA allows you to adjust your instant center.
        Adjustable panhard rod allows you to laterally adjust the rear end within the wheel wells.
        Adjustable torque arm allows you to adjust the pinion angle.
