I'm gonna try lowing my car today. I have FRPP springs. No panhard. I figure I'll give the springs time to settle, then measure and see if I need a panhard bar. I plan on measuring by taping string to the top of the fender and measuring how far the center of the wheel is from the string.

you will be out of line with the FRPP springs. I was quite a bit out and almost everyone else is too. Some people are out with Roush which is like half of FRPP

what do u mean out of line? and what would u recommend?

The car will shift to one side so one wheel/tire will sit outside the fender while the other side sits inside the fender. I have the BMR adj panhard and no complaints at all. Price wasnt bad as i got during a group buy. Steeda will be good also but cost more probably. See if the guys over at Stangsuspension can hook you up with a forum deal perhaps on a package.

Some offset, maybe 3/8 inch, comes from the factory actually on the GTs. When you add the springs, you can increase that by a bit and get maybe an inch, .5 on each side, out of spec

I went with the BMR adjustable. Very good quality and fit. As mentioned above, you'll probably be out pretty good. Mine was off almost a full inch to the pass side.

BMR would be the best panhard to go with IMO

so how do i stop this from happening? will a different set of springs stop this? or is there something i can adjust?

BMR Adjustable Panhard & Brace here.

I don't think you can stop it from happening, but rather prevent the severity of the misalignment during installation by trying to minimize the overall cars movement and adjusting the panhard bar to the exact length of the factory piece.
The reason it shifts one way or the other has to do with the body connecting to the panhard bar on the passenger side and the panhard bar attaching to the drive axle on the drivers side. During installation the suspension is not loaded (supported by the axle) so you need to jack it up by the frame. By doing this the angle between the axle, panhard bar, and connection point on the body changes. So after removal or installation of the new panhard bar and lowering the car back to the ground the angle will more than likely be a little off. The adjustable panhard bar pulls/pushes the body back in line.

Also, the type of spring has nothing to do with.

is it super noticeable? will i be able 2 tell by lookin at it? is it even worth lowering?
