Re: panhard lowering bracket

this is different from the upper panhard brace kit which allows running dual 3" pipes over the axle.

it's supposed to restore proper geometry after lowering. the adjustable panhard can recenter the axle, but the geometry is still off.

anyone?

Re: panhard lowering bracket

I think it is a worthy part. Fred and I were discussing this when I added the BMR panhard relocation kit for additional exhaust clearance. The debate is if the car is lowered, do you still need the panhard lowering bracket. It appears that if the panhard rod is parallel to the ground, you will still get body movement. When the suspension compresses, the body will shift to one side, when the suspension uncompresses, it will move the other direction. Granted the movement will be minimal, but it will still be there. Ultimately a different setup like a watts linkeage is in order.
