Default PANHARD BAR INSTALL?

IS THIS A SIMPLE 5 MINUTE BOLT ON PROCESS? I HEAR ALOT OF PEOPLE RECOMMENDING THEM. BUT HOW HARD IS THE INSTALL? AND ARE THEY EXPENSIVE? I ALSO HEARD OF THEM BEING ADJUSTABLE?

It is a "simple" process to change it BUT 5 min. ...(no way) I would say 1/2 hour .
Get an adjustable one so if you make ride height changes you can always tweak the car.
I think they're cheap. But that is realative to other factors.

Right, half hour but you may not need one. If you are using Roush, FRPP or Eibach ProKit (all not too dramatic a drop)... measure outward alignment (with plumb bob) on each side BEFORE coil install. OE is typically off about 3/8"; if after you put lowering coils in you are still about that close (unless even OE bothers you) you can skip the panhard bar. Many guys have. A good adj one like from BMR is not that cheap but it is a a top quality part. OE bar is just as thick and no strength issue there (softer fit too with OE rubber bushings) I'll be resetting/fabricating length of OE bar to match my BMR adj length then putting the OE bar back on. BMR unit will go to EBay but I'm at least a month away from getting to that (working on the house right now)

roger to 1/2 hour
adjustable is meant to adjust the bar in terms of distance from wheel to fender so it is the same distance on both sides...
