brand name this, brand name that, who is good
I'm running stock suspension right now but I just bought bilstien shocks and eibach drag-lauch springs. Now I want to buy a panhard bar and lca with relocating brackets. I have stock 16" rims and tires.
Would the lower control arms, relocating brackets, and panhard bar be any good off ebay? I will be running my 10bolt rear end with 3.73 gears.
I would also like to upgrade to 17x11 tires without and clearancing to the body or frame, so should I go with adjustable and nonadjustable? I'm thinking the adjustable wouldn't be as strong as the non-adjustable?
I can't see myself buying a BMR panhard bar with the same thickness as the ones on ebay that are less than half the price. The brands I see are JDI, HotPart, UMI Performance

Judging by your choice of springs I'm guessing you just want to hook better. For this, I wouldn't consider 17x11 wheels an "upgrade."
And yes, UMI has a good rep. I bought my SFC's off ebay. They're BMR clones just w/thicker walled tubing. They weren't powder coated but were half the price of BMR. Just research the seller.

They are going to be heavier wich will require more torque to get them to move and shorter sidewalls are worse for off the line traction. Shorter sidewall = easier to spin.
