I think they are well worth the price. But perhaps you value your $$$ differently. I don't know what else to say.

Panhard Brace and LCA relocation bracket hmm there goes my tri-ax. Oh I almost forgot is the UCA also worth it?

Once you get going on the suspension, it will be hard to stop until all the core components are replaced with Steeda, Spohn or BMR stuff. Nice thing is you can do this piece by piece and build it up over time but the big bang approach of doing it all at once works too!

Yeah, the suspension mods can get addictive. It's tempting to just go in there and replace EVERYTHING.

Of course, you have to draw the line somewhere.

I think that for the average street-driven car, the UCA and the panhard brace are in the "optional" category. If you can afford them, get them. If money is tight, skip 'em.

On the other hand, if you are building up for racing or forced induction, then I would say get them for sure. Androz, you said you're getting a turbo, right? If that's the case I would definatley get both the panhard brace and the UCA. Also get the poly bushing that goes in the diff housing, and I would also seriously consider the UCA mount as well.

Do you have a link on where I can get the panhard brace? All I have seen is the upper panhard support and also the lca relocation bracket.

Upper panhard support is the same thing as the panhard brace. Sorry, different people/brands call them different things.

Hey crazyal do you recommend UDP? I got a around 100$ over in refund from rpmoutlet and think I might get their UDP's. Do you think I should get it or the panhard brace they sell? Has 2 be one of the two since I have most of what they can sell. Only other thing I have been thinking about is the mezierre water pump. How much does the alum driveshaft goes for? If it like 100$ more than the waterpump is it a better mod to do? Also I read that the panhard brace is for the one with rod ends. I got the adjustable one with the polyurethane bushings.

I'm going to send you a PM regarding the UDP/pump so this thread doesn't go off topic

The panhard bar brace (or support if you want to call it that) has nothing to do with rod-ends or otherwise. It will work just fine with your poly-bushing panhard bar.

I would buy the BMR panhard brace. RPM Outlet has it for 99.95.
