    upper panhard bar?

    I have been doing springs & struts and I do have a panhard bar but I noticed that there is a bar above the panhard bar that goes from the pass to driver side is there a replacement bar for that? I have been doing all the suspension on my car and was just curious about that? Any help on this? Thanks.... Teknik

    Yes there is. Basically they call it a Panhard relocation kit. It comes with a new bar and bracket. Click the link:

    how much of a difference does this make cause i just spent over $850 on suspension parts and i might as well add it to the list if it is worth it

    Honestly, I didn't notice a difference at all. But you might as well swap out as much stamped steel as possible. The main reason they make that kit is to fit larger diameter exhaust over the rear end, but it can't hurt to stiffen the rear up.

    When you get the aftermarket relocation phb with lowering springs it will not be parallel to the ground when the car suspension is loaded.

    You want the phb to be as parallel to the ground as possible due to the way it works.

    There is an additional bracket for the driver's side that you should purchase as well that corrects this problem. They sell it at JEGS.

    I believe the aftermarket phb and relocation kits are designed for stock height cars.

    Like 35th said it alters the angle of the pan-hard bar which will actually hurt handling. The only reason to use the relocation kit is to make room for true duals/large exhausts, there is no advantage to running one if your not having exhaust clearance issues. Save your money for other mods IMO.

    I have it as well, and exactly what Andy stated above is true.
