BMR Panhard Support Clearance Issues/Help
I installed the BMR Adj. Panhard bar today and also the panhard bar support. The problem i have is the exhaust sits right on top of the panhard support anyone else have and issue with this. I noticed on the wimpy factory piece it has a curved built into it which i assume is to accommodate this issue. The BMR support however is straight with very little offset if any. Anyone else have a panhard support and any fitment issue like this??

Your car is lowered mine is NOT.
I do plan on installing the Eibach Pro Kit sometime within the next few weeks and am wondering if this will solve the problem.
Sweet Ride by the way. That is the same color we have

I think it is the upper panhard support he is having problems with.

Look to the left side and then go up a bit from where the muffler clamp is. There is a small somewhat flat spot in the stock muffler ipe and that is where it is resting on the support.

EXACTLY. I also have the Race Panhard bar but have no issue with it. I am indeed having issues with the Upper Panhard Support. It need to be dropped down about 1" o so. I am wondeinrg if BMR welded the mount on in the wrong place. If you look at this picture i took off there site you can see that even in there picture it appears to be hitting the exhaust pipe.

You can adjust the over the axle pipe by loosening the mid section pipe coupling and the muffler coupling and spin the pipe upwards away from the support and tighten back. When your axle backs were put on the pipe probably shifted.

Thank You so much.
