Default bought a panhard bar!!

well, yesterday i bought a MM adjustable panhard bar.... i got it used for a good deal.. now im wondering how to install it... and also, what other things can i do to make the car launch better and handle better... such as rear suspension components... i was looking at the torque arm and rear sway bar like codes... are they any good?

Maybe someone can confirm this, but I thought that if you had subframesyou can't run a Torque arm, so that may be something to think about.. Torque arms are WAY stronge than subframes to my understanding as well..

Since you got the adjustable one, don't forget to take some good measurements, so the rear axle stays aligned, because there is nothing worse than trying to punch it, and get a nasty vibration (I have a lot of experience w/ that issue right there..)

yes, i have to figure out how to align it... i was told you have to have subframes or its a good idea to have them with a torque arm.

idk which model you have but its one of those. I you HAVE to have subframes for a panhard bar and I assume its the same for the torque arm since they go together.

Let me know how the difference in handling is. ive been wanting to get subframes, pb, and torque arm but other mods have come before it

you only need subframe connectors for the torque arm, and you need a panhard bar to run a torque arm becasue it deletes your upper control arms

also only certain tailpipes will fit with a panhard bar, stock and some flowmasters made after 2001 are supposed to fit
